How do I change the incoming mail server for iCloud?

I'm having the same issue.  It says I need to enter one, but the entire box is greyed out, and I cannot select it to manually change it.  I'm so frustrated!!!

  • HT4864 How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.

    How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail?  It's grayed out.
    I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail.  I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out.  Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • HT2954 CAnnot change the incoming mail server for iCloud account

    I cannot recieve mail because the imap setting is wrong, but I cannot highlight it to change.

    Hi, was it maybe setup as a MobileMe or dot Mac account in the first place?
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

    The settings are not generic for all webmail accounts, only your office IT department would know what the server address is for their outgoing email server.  You'll have to ask them about it.

  • What is the incoming mail server for icloud?

    All of a sudden I can not receive my icloud mail on my iMac.
    I get it on my iPhone & my iPad.
    I need to know what the incoming mail server setting should be.
    Can any one help?
    Thanks,
    j.v. fromnc

    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

    What does this have to do with the original post?  Start a new thread so yours doesn't get lost buried in an unrelated one.

    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.

  • HT204053 How do I change the e-mail address default on the icloud without losing the contacts saved?

    How do I change the e-mail address default on the icloud without losing the contacts saved?

    Each iCloud account can only have a single iCloud email account.  As such, you can't have a different email account on your iPod if it is using the same iCloud account. 
    You can create additional alias email addresses within this iCloud account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox as the primary icloud email address.

  • In Yosemite, how do I change my incoming mail server?

    In Yosemite, I can't change my incoming mail server.  I have to use one for my office network, and another when outside the network.  In the older OS I could easily change it (even though is would always rearrange the order of my email accounts).  Now the field for the incoming mail server is grayed out and can't be changed.
    Help!!

    And now the solution after an online chat with the great Apple support staff.  In Mail Preferences, Accounts, Advanced tab, uncheck the "Automatically detect and maintain account settings" box.  Save the settings when closing the preferences box.  Then open preferences again and note the incoming mail server box can be changed. 
    ...now if the software engineers can fix the annoying bug of the order of accounts being changed to "Apple Order" whenever changes are made, the Mail app will be much improved.

  • How do I populate the "incoming mail server" field in mail.

    My icloud account is not able to send or recieve emails. Other accounts are. When checking preferences I see the Incoming mail server field is empty and I can not populate it. How can I get round/fix
    this, please?

    Your iCloud email account is automatically set up when you check Mail in System Preferences.
    Go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again.  This will remove, then automatically set up your iCloud email account again with the proper settings.

  • HT4864 how do i change my incoming mail server name?

    My incoming mail messages on my MacBook suddenly stopped coming in yesterday. I changed nothing, but now it says I have the wrong password. I checked my incoming mail server settings and think this could be the problem, but do not know how to change it. It is greyd out.

    Since you're posting in the icloud forum, I'm going to assume you're using an icloud email account.
    You're not supposed to edit its settings directly.  Quit Mail.  Click your apple >> system preferences >> icloud.  Remove the checkmark beside mail.  Wait a minute and recheck it.  Then try the account in the mail.app again.
    If you've manually added the account because you're not running Lion or Mountain Lion, then you can check the settings in Mail menu >> preferences >> accounts >> select the account.  The correct settings for icloud mail is here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
