ICloud – Apple’s iCloud SMTP Server For Old Devices Does Not Work

Not sure if this helps but been a mobile me user for a year now and this is my outlook 2007 settings:

Also worth noting I have seen in small print that iCloud will only work with Outlook 2007 & 2010

Account type: imap

Incoming mail server: mail.me.com

Outgoing mail server: smtp.me.com

• (I note that Apple's KB of this states: smtp.mail.me.com i.e. mine does not have "mail" in it).

User name: (_ _ _ _ _)@me.com (don't put in @me.com though)

Tick require logon using SPA

on advanced tab:

outgoing server tab

my outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication: tick this

use same settings as my incoming mail server: click this

Advanced tab

Incoming server (IMAP): 993

Use following type of encrypted connection: SSL

Outgoing server (SMTP): 587

Use following type of encrypted connection: TLS

So far my account is still working but have not upgraded to iOS5 or iCloud yet as waiting for update to another program that I use to bypass iTunes for music importing.

Each of your devices has a timezone setting, which you probably already set correctly.

What you probably didn't know is that iCloud.com has its own timezone setting. To access it, login to icloud.com, then click on your name in the upper right corner. Once set, you should see everything ok.

The “time zone support” setting you disabled has to do with creating events associated with a timezone, and is usually better left off.

NOTE: Once you change this you will have to logout and then login again for the changes to take effect.
