I've been much frustrated by Apple's dropping my .mac account and the
subsequent hassles of using online icloud mail with OS 10.4. So I was
very happy to see the postings here that I could get my
Apple mail to my desktop via an IMAP account. I just want to let the
members of this support group know that you have really helped me and
that I appreciate it.
BTW, for years I had a paid .mac account ($100.00/year) and I wonder
why Apple couldn't have notified me that I could switch over to an
IMAP account instead of just dropping me? When they switched to
iCloud I just got a .mac screen saying .mac no longer works. Rather
lame way for Apple to handle a paying customer when there was a good
(IMAP) working solution available.

Running OS X10.4.11 I've been using Apple's Mail client, Mail, with
iCloud since the demise of MobileMe.
Set up for Tiger is detailed here:

Make sure your Apple ID Password is at least eight characters, of
which at least one must be a numeral and one a capital letter!
