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've had the same problem trying to get 10.5.8 Mail to connect to an iCloud
IMAP account; one possible solution i've read in my research is to change the
password to contain at least one upper case and one numeric; the user in
question has put off trying this because she's able to get her email on iPhone
and iPad; does your password does meet the above requirement?
i have gotten Mail.app on 10.7.3 to connect to an iCloud acct via IMAP; i've
succeeded with an iPhone too (i have multiple iCloud accounts with active email
due to having had a mac.com "family pack"); however the passwords in question
met the Requ1rement from the start, so this doesn't tell us whether it is the
OS version or the password that made it work
