what is the iCloud incoming mail server setting?

imap.mail.me.com - but you shoudn't need to enter this manually. If you are having problems, sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, then sign back in again and enable Mail in the checklist. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will return when you sign back in.

  • What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

    What is the smtp incoming mail server for iCloud?

    There is no such thing as an "SMTP incoming mail server." You set up iCloud mail by checking the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane. You don't need to know the addresses of the servers.

    I'm not getting iCloud email and the incoming mail server setting (p99-imap.mail.me.com) is dimmed out and not editable. Ideas?

    System prefs > Mail, Contacts & Calendars - New account and select iCloud.
    Unfortunately, that was step 1 in the process of not being able to use my mail in iCloud. Also, I have tried changing my password to 8 numbers/letter, etc. in accordance with the new AppleID rules, but that did not work. I have also tried deleting and recreating my account multiple times. I am definitely willing to try any more suggestions.

  • What is the outgoing (SMTP) mail server for iCloud?

    What is the outgoing (SMTP) mail server for icloud?

    dominic23:
    That's just the name/description you can give the server that appears in Mail's preferences for that account.
    After selecting Edit you can put in whatever you want in the description. 
    advisor81:
    Why do you need to know the name?  If you add an iCloud account in Mail all you really need is your Apple ID and password.  The servers are automatically assigned.

  • IMAC: What is the SMTP outgoing mail server?

    IMAC: What is the SMTP outgoing mail server?

    You need to get that information from your internet service provider if you are using an email address provided by them or, if you are only using iCloud, then the info can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    FWIW, in order to set up email, you need both an incoming and outgoing server address (in addition to your email address/user name and password). Those are the servers your email program uses when sending or receiving emails.

  • HT4864 My icloud incoming mail server info is "grayed out" How do I fix this?

    My iCloud incoming mail server is grayed out.  Also my iCloud and Gmail accounts are showing offline.  I just did update to Mountain Lion 2 days ago and now I cannot send mail.

    New Info
    Re: Messages Menu Commands Greyed Out
    A simple solution...
    After much troubleshooting, I have isolated the issue with the greyed out "Messages" app menu. The problem is due to the truetype font Apple Gothic missing which is required for the AppleID login window when you first launch Messages. You can just hit skip when the dialog box comes up, but until you do so the full messages menus are not available. So to fix, just drop AppleGothic.ttf in <bootdrive>/Library/Fonts and Messages 8.x should launch correctly. Apple should have really included this font in <bootdrive>/System/Library/Fonts since it is required for one of their Apps
    Many people in the prepress or graphics arts fields will likely run into this issue when they customize fonts.

  • ICloud incoming mail server

    Good day all,
    For most of the day yesterday I and many others were having difficulty authenticating iOS mail and OS X mail clients to the Apple "appleid.apple.com" servers.  It may have been a load issue or a configuration issue on the servers (which are used for both mobileme and icloud.  By mid-evening on the east oast of the USA the occurences of password reject were diminishing and now seem to have stabilized.
    Today I am having problems with the incoming server bank at "p02-imap.mail.me.com".  It either does not connect or does not respond in adequate time to satisfy the Apple mail clients.
    I have 4 ex-family MobileMe accounts converted to iCloud.  Three of them were assigned "p99-imap.mail.me.com" for incoming mail.  The fourth was assigned "p02-imap.mail.me.com".  In all instances the incoming mail server was populated during account migration and is not editable.
    As an issue of curiousity, does anyone know how the incoming mail server was assigned?  Did the first 250,000 of us get one server and the next another, etc.?
    I suspect  "pXX-imap.mail.me.com" is a server bank with load balancing implemented across multiple servers.  Or maybe (shudder) we are hard assigned one physical server (p99, p02, etc.).
    It would be interesting to know how Apple's new improved data center(s) have been logically configured for redundancy, load balancing and fail over.
    Sorry - it's the geek in me wondering why I can't get my email from a specific Apple resource ("p02-imap.mail.me.com").

  • HT4864 Configuring iCloud's incoming mail server

    I am using Mac's (10.7.5) mail client and trying to configure the iCloud incoming mail server but I cannot enter any info in that section.
    Can anyone help me, please?
    Blessings

    You shouldn't need to set Mail up yourself - if you are already signed into iCloud in System Preferences, sign out then sign back in again and enable Mail in the checklist there (and any other data types you want to sync). This will set Mail up for you. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

  • Hotmail incoming mail server question

    What is the Hotmail incoming mail server? Thanks.

    What do you mean you want to change that?
    Does that not work in your Mail? The incoming server for your Hotmail account in the Mail.app is this: hotmail.com
    It should work just fine when you type that in.

    On the Mac, open  > About this Mac, and tell us what OS X version you have.
    If it's 10.6, modify your iCloud account in Mail manually and use "imap.mail.me.com", without quotes, as your incoming mail server.
    If it's 10.7 or 10.8, close Mail, open System Preferences > iCloud, and unmark Mail. Then, mark Mail and open Mail
