Mail settings for iCloud, etc

I'm using 10.6.8.
I see two kbases for setting up Apple Mail to work with iCloud email.
But, one says it's specifically for 10.6. The other is for other email apps, using IMAP setup.
But, wouldn't the IMAP settings in the second work for 10.6 as well?

other apps

I gues I'm trying to figure out why they are different since iCloud is an IMAP account, but both articles have different settings for that

it would seem one of those kbases made sure to mention option-click in the process to allow edits in the IMAP setup.
So, in the 10.6 info:
mail.me.com
user name (excluding @me.com)
smtp.me.com
But, in the iCloud server setting for email clients:
imap.mail.me.com
user name=[email protected]
smtp.mail.me.com
It seems user name under each is different in that one wants @iCloud.com and the other doesn't.
Also, "imap" is added to the icoming and outgoing info.
I set my SL up using the "icloud: mail server settings" instead of the one for 10.6.
But, I was trying to figure WHY there are two different ways and why specifically 10.6 differs.

Correct mail settings for iCloud with Mail

I find this: to talke about setting up iCloud Manualy.
iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients
And then this for 10.6.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330
But shouldn't either work for 10.6?

Yes, they should work. For the outgoing SMTP, you might try using Apple Token instead of your password.
You can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don't recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates.

Mail settings for icloud, Gmail, etc.

What are the differences between storing draft, sent, etc, messages on the server or unchecking this option for an icloud account?
I have the same question for the consequences of this setting with Gmail and Hotmail/Outlook accounts as well.

These options only appear for IMAP mail (where the messages live on the server), not for POP mail (where you download the messages from the server).
The choice is that when you create a draft or send a message, you can keep them only the device they were created on (and so not visible to any other device) or whether they are to be uploaded to the server and stored there, so that they can be accessible to other devices (for example if you want to continue working on a draft on another device). This would seem the preferable option.

iCloud Mail Settings

I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto. My iCloud email works ok otherwise. I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

what are the server settings for icloud mail on samsung galaxy tab 2 outgoing works but incoming dosent

Found out the is a bug in the mail app built into android using another app instead now

The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
All outgoing emails were working fine.
I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
EDIT
I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.

Hi,
I have SP 2013, and it was working properly. and workflows send emails perfectly. yesterday, i decided to build a fresh site collection so i deleted the old one and created a new one. now, workflows are unable to send emails. i'm sure it has nothing to do
with my mail server cuz no changes happened to it. i'm sure about the settings for outgoing mail on central admin. all i did, was to enter mail server IP in outgoing mail field and email below it.
in the workflow status the status says "error" followed by this message: "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly."
Any help please?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to send email after building a fresh site collection.
I recommend to verify that you have entered your SMTP server name correctly.
You can add it as FQDN e.g. ServerName.DomainName.

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.

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.
