It is also good to know that iCloud does not support the <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/pop3\">POP<\/a> mail protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iCloud is a cloud storage and cloud computing service from Apple Inc that has been around since October 2011. The service boasts about 850 million users worldwide. In addition to offering cloud storage for documents, photos, and music among other services, iCloud also offers email services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, you can check your email and send messages on iCloud using other email programs such as Ms. Outlook, Mailspring, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iCloud Email Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have published the server settings for your convenience. These can be used by any mail software that supports IMAP and SMTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iCloud IMAP Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With iCloud IMAP, you can not only receive but enjoy two-way syncing of your iCloud email account inbox and the related folders. IMAP is ideal if you need to access your emails from multiple devices such as Outlook, mobile phone, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the IMAP settings for iCloud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Server<\/strong>: imap.mail.me.com<br><strong>Port<\/strong>: 993<br><strong>Requires SSL<\/strong>: Yes<br><strong>Username<\/strong>: [Your full email address or the name part of @icloud.com]<br><strong>Password<\/strong>: [<a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/HT204397\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">app-specific password<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iCloud SMTP Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>iCloud SMTP is the protocol that handles sending emails. You would need to configure your email client with this protocol to enable sending outgoing emails through the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the SMTP settings for iCloud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Server<\/strong>: smtp.mail.me.com<br><strong>Port<\/strong>: 587<br><strong>Requires SSL<\/strong>: Yes<br><strong>SMTP Authentication Required<\/strong>: Yes<br><strong>Username<\/strong>: [Your full email address]<br><strong>Password<\/strong>: [<a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/HT204397\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">app-specific password<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You now have the current iCloud email settings that you can use to retrieve incoming email via IMAP or POP and send outgoing email via SMTP by configuring any Desktop email client, or mobile device that supports the said protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more details about what iCloud Email has to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icloud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This guide will share the iCloud Email Settings for connecting mail clients using the IMAP, SMTP protocols.
