Problem with icoud and mac mail. Doesn't work. Incoming server (p26-imap.mail.me.com) is faded. Cannot overwrite nor delete.

When I first got my iphone, and set up the account, it was there on my mac and worked perfectly. Now what do I do?

powerbook pro, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you are using OS X 10.7.5 or later, you can't change the IMAP field because it is set up automatically on your Mac. Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again. This will delete, then recreate your iCloud email account with the proper settings.


If you aren't using OS X 10.7.5 or later, you can set up your iCloud email account using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
