How to set up your iCloud email account on Android - TechAmok
How to set up your iCloud email account on Android - [guides] 08:26 AM EDT - Mar,13 2014 - post a comment If you're moving to an Android device from an iPhone or iPad, there's every possibility you're already set up and using an iCloud email address. Android devices require you to have a Google account and accompanying Gmail address, but you might want to keep using your iCloud account for email. And that's just fine. The good news is it is perfectly possible to get your iCloud email address up and running on your Android device. It's pretty straight forward but does involve a little effort on your part.
Besides the Gmail app on your Android phone or tablet, you should also
have an app just called "Email." (There are also dozens of great
alternatives on Google Play.) How it looks may vary from phone to phone
I'm using the stock LG Email app on the G2 in this example but the
overall function should be the same since you need to set up your
iCloud account using IMAP and SMTP.
However it looks, the key information remains the same. Here's a quick
checklist of what you need to do for incoming mail:
When asked for the IMAP server enter
imap.mail.me.com.
Your username is the name part of your @icloud.com
address.
Your password should be the same as your Apple ID
password.
Certificates should be set to SSL, or SSL (accept
all certificates) if you're having issues connecting.
The port number needs to be 993.
After you've entered all the above information, hit next and you'll be
taken to the setup page for the SMTP section for outgoing mail. Again,
the key information is the same however your Email app looks, and
here's the checklist:
When asked for the SMTP server enter
smtp.mail.me.com.
Username and password should be entered as above.
Set certificates to either SSL or TLS (again you may
need to hit the option to accept all certificates). Personally, I had
to use the TLS option.
The port number needs to be 587.
If asked about SMTP authentication being required,
hit yes
