SMTP Server Details

• SMTP Server/Host: smtp.mail.me.com
• SMTP Port: 587

Authentication Information

• SMTP User Name: Your full iCloud Mail email address (e.g., [e-mail]).
• SMTP Password: An app-specific password. This is required as iCloud uses two-factor authentication. You must generate this password from your Apple ID account page under the security settings.

Additional Information

• It is crucial to use an app-specific password instead of your regular iCloud password due to Apple’s security requirements.
• Ensure that SMTP is enabled in your iCloud settings to send mail through other applications.
