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

    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.

    But why are you doing this manually?

  • 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...

    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.

    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.

  • HT201320 what is the incoming mail server host name and user names

    Hi there,
    I am trying to add my school email account to my phone and I am able to fill in the
    Name
    Email
    and Description
    but am not sure what I am supposed to fill out in the Incoming Mail Server spots:
    Host Name
    User Name
    and the password is already filled in?
    and Im not sure what the Outgoing Mail Server is either.

    You'll have to ask someone at your school what the incoming server settings are for their email.  These differ for every email provider/account.

  • HT5361 What is the incoming mail server when setting up a apple email address?

    When setting up a new email account the field for the incoming mail server is greyed out.  How do I add the info?

    It should load that automatically. It varies.
    It will be some variant of imap.mail.me.com. That may get it to look up the correct one.

  • What is the best DNS server for iCloud and Apple services?

    Hello. Im wondering what is the best DNS server to use with iCloud, and apple services.
    Does apple have a dedicatrd DNS server?
    I read a couple of articles stating that the google DNS servers like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 slow down apple and facebook services.
    Did a couple of tests like iTunes streaming and found out that its true in some cases.

    Not always!

    A small correction to my own post above: Yahoo does offer free IMAP access to Nokia users. The server details are:
    Incoming IMAP server: nokia-free.imap.mail.yahoo.com, SSL.
    Outgoing SMTP server: nokia-free.smtp.mail.yahoo.com, SSL.
