If you would like to use iCloud mail in an email client, you may want to review the following article. It contains the mail server settings you'll need to set it up:
iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
Use these mail server settings if you need to manually set up your email app (client) to use an iCloud email account.
Do you need these mail server settings?
You can use the mail server settings in this article to manually set up your email app to send and receive email with an iCloud email account. However, you shouldn't need to do that if you meet the iCloud system requirements and can use any of these setup methods:
- OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later: Use iCloud Preferences.
- Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later: Use iCloud for Windows.
- iOS 7 or later: Use iCloud settings.
If you're using the Mail app in OS X Snow Leopard v10.6, use the mail server information in the iCloud Mail setup instructions for Snow Leopard instead of the settings below.
Mail server settings
Refer to your email app's documentation for information about how to use these settings. iCloud Mail uses the IMAP and SMTP standards supported by most modern email apps. iCloud does not support POP.
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
- Server name: imap.mail.me.com
- SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead. - Port: 993
- Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not emilyparker@icloud.com)
- Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
- Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
- SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS or STARTTLS instead. - Port: 587
- SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
- Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker@icloud.com, not emilyparker)
- Password: Your iCloud password
