Connectors / iCloud Mail
Connect iCloud Mail
Apple's iCloud Mail over IMAP and SMTP with an app-specific password. Works
| Signs in with | App password |
|---|---|
| Username | Your full iCloud email address |
| Incoming (IMAP) | imap.mail.me.com, port 993 (SSL/TLS) |
| Outgoing (SMTP) | smtp.mail.me.com, port 587 (STARTTLS) |
Use an app-specific password, not your Apple Account password. Apple asks for only the part before the @ as the incoming (IMAP) username and the full address for sending (SMTP); if the full address fails for incoming mail, try the part before the @.
Checked against the provider's documentation on 10 October 2026.
