Hi:
Has anyone had any success in using PM with iCloud mail? If so, what settings
did you use?

Chris,
Yes, within the design limits of PowerMail's lightweight IMAP implementation,
we use it all the time. Settings are:
protocol: IMAP4
User account id: your_main_icloud_name
Incoming mail server: imap.mail.me.com
Once you mount the inbox, copy messages in it to a local folder to have them
stored in your database as if they had come over POP3.
One caveat is that there seems to be a Webkit under Carbon bug that we cannot
work around in our code and that can get exhibited when dealing with some HTML
messages coming from IMAP servers. If you run across this, disable the "HTML
reader" option in preferences and click on the "Globe" icon when previewing
HTML messages to display them externally.
Regards,

Hi jean michel:
Thanks for this. The only problem I seem to be having is with the ports and
the SSL since I keep getting an intermittent error msg. I'm using port 993 and
'use secure connection SSL/TLS" on a dedicated secure port.
TBH I'm not a big fan of IMAP although I can see the advantages with when using
multiple machines, but it does seem to be the way most mail clients are going.
Maybe PM7 will be the IMAP client to rule them all :)
