What is the outgoing mail server for icloud?  I keep getting "password rejected"

What is the correct mail server for icloud?  I keep getting a message "rejected the password" no matter what I seem to try.

But why are you doing this manually?

  • 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,

    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

  • 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.

  • Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

    I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
    I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
    In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
    Any ideas?

    In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

  • What is my outgoing mail server for setting up a new account in Mail?

    Hi, I'm trying to set up a new account in Mail so that I check my school e-mail from that application and I've figured out what my incoming mail server is, but what where would I find the outgoing mail server if I want to send through Mail?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

  • 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...

  • 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!

  • I want my "From" address to default to a specific one. I have deleted the outgoing mail server for the one I don't want to use but it still comes up write

    Since Comcast will no longer allow me to "send" from my AOL Address I need to change my "from:" address on every e-mail I send. I thought I could make my Comcast outgoing server the default one and that would take care of it - it didn't. Then I thought I could just delete my AOL outgoing server and Thunderbird would then have to use my Comast Outgoing Server - it doesn't. I can continue to try and remember to change the
    FROM with the drop down list but it would sure be nice if I could save this aging brain of mine and make the software default for me.

    Why not just add an AOL server to Tools/Account Settings/Outgoing Server (SMTP) and then have that server selected in Tools/Account Settings/<i>aolaccount</i> in the Outgoing Server (SMTP) dropdown in the right pane? Use these settings: smtp.aol.com on port 465, SSL/TLS security, Normal password authentication, User name = your screen name.

    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.

    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.
