Adding iCloud email to Mail in SL

As I am still on SL, I modified my mobileme/mac.com etc. email settings to the recommended new settings (even though they are suppose to work on the old settings).



Which ones of these should I be using?

I know one says SL, but the other says those setting should work on any app that supports iMap

5330 is wrong. 4864 is correct but does not take account of the fact that the Snow Leopard mail 'wizard' will try to force you into MobileMe because it's never heard of iCloud. The method setting up Mail and getting round this is described here, with illustrations:


Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
