I have messed up iCloud mail setting when trying to fix a yahoo issue. I need the settings to send mail from iCloud

Can someone please send me step by step what to set my icloud outgoing mail setting to. It continues to say that the server is no longer connected. I tried adding an outgoing mail server as smtp.mail.me.com and it won't connect. I messed it up when I played around with settings due to Yahoo not working this morning. Yahoo is now working and icloud is not. Thanks for your help.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

These are the manual settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864, but if you are signed into iCloud on your Mac it should automatically contigure your iCloud email account with the correct settings. If it isn't working, go to Settings>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then check Mail again. That will remove, then recreate your iCloud email account.

Thank you so very much. I ended up having to delete the icloud email account and then added it and it was back running like normal. Thanks for you input. Yay.... I can now get on with my day! LOL!
