iCloud Mail server settings for other email client apps
If you don't meet the minimum system requirements for iCloud, use these iCloud Mail server settings to manually set up your iCloud Mail account in an email client app.
Do you need these mail server settings?
If you meet the iCloud system requirements, you don't need to manually set up your iCloud Mail account. Use one of these setup methods for your third-party email app:
On your iPhone or iPad with iOS 11 or later or your Mac with macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later, use iCloud Settings or Preferences.
On your PC in Microsoft Windows with Outlook 2021 or later, authorize the app using your Apple Account.
iCloud Mail server settings
iCloud Mail uses the IMAP and SMTP standards supported by most modern email client apps. iCloud Mail does not support POP. Refer to your email client app's documentation for information about how to use these settings.
IMAP information for the incoming iCloud Mail server

SSL Required: Yes
If you see an error message when using SSL, try using TLS instead.

Username: This is usually the name of your iCloud Mail email address (for example, johnappleseed, not johnappleseed@icloud.com). If your email client app can't connect to iCloud Mail using just the name of your email address, try using the full address.
Password: Generate an app-specific password.
SMTP information for the outgoing iCloud Mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com

If you see an error message when using SSL, try using TLS or STARTTLS instead.

SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud Mail email address (for example, johnappleseed@icloud.com, not johnappleseed).
Password: Use the app-specific password that you generated when you set up the incoming mail server.
