MacOS – Apple Mail using El Capitan

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.

I ended up having to go to ~/Library/MailData, edit Accounts.plist, and remove the keys and value entries related to SSLEnabled. Luckily I had a POP server that was okay to copy from. There were two entries, first the SSLEnabled one and the following entry all good for now.
