Use iCloud email on Android Device?

Yes, take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864

This doesn't work on my phone.

I've used Macs for years and had 3 iPhones, but I recently changed to an LG G5 Android.

I cannot set up my iCloud email account on the new phone, despite following all the instructions to the word - including those on the link. (I've had no problem setting up the other accounts, which were all POP.)

I keep getting 'Wrong sign-in info. Try again' although the username and password are correct.

I had the same issue on my Kindle. I gave up in the end.

Would having two-way verification on my iCloud account have anything to do with it?

It might. Try disabling it and see if the result is different.

You may need to create an app-specific password. I quote:

You can generate an app-specific password from your Apple ID account page and enter it into the password field of the app that you want to sign in to. This will allow you to sign in securely even if the app you’re using doesn’t support entering verification codes. For example, you might use an app-specific password to sign in to iCloud using a third party email, address book, or calendar app.

If you want to generate an app-specific password, sign in to your Apple ID account page. In the Security section, click Edit > Generate Password.

That sorted it, Eric!

Cheers. 🙂

Thanks, you made me life a lot easier and mobile again

Please read Gail's answer directly above your post.

My Apologies.. the figure for the delay in activating the 2FC of 30 days that I got from another site is incorrect. The correct figure is 3 days

OK, so what, exactly is the problem you are facing? A 48-hour wait or the need to generate an App-specific password?
