Hi: I know I'm late moving to iCloud, but i still have ancient iMacs that won't run 10.7, so I've been holding out….until now.
The issue I am having is this: I want to get my iCloud mail on my older (10.6) Mail client and maybe another non-Mac mail client. Apple's docs (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864) say that as long as your client supports IMAP and SSL it should work. They specify the incoming server as imap.mail.me.com and say to use my @me.com full address as the user name and my iCloud password, and port 993. I did this. Exactly. And the server rejected my password. I tried using <username>@me.com, <username>@mac.com and just <username> and none worked. I also noticed that in my normal Mail.app with iCloud turned on, the server was listed as p99-imap.mail.me.com, so I tried that with all three usernames above. I made sure that my password was accurate with no caps lock or any other silly mistakes. No luck. I tried this with Apple Mail.app by setting up an "other" IMAP account, I tried it on my iPad, and I tried it using Thunderbird. All with the same results. Has anyone gotten this to work? If you can share how I would very much appreciate it!
