To send email through iCloud Mail, set your outgoing (SMTP) server to smtp.mail.me.com and use port 587 (STARTTLS). STARTTLS on 587.
For incoming mail, use the IMAP server imap.mail.me.com on port 993. Pick the exact values from the tool above and copy them straight into your mail client.
About 1,000 messages per day and up to 500 recipients per day. Requires an app-specific password — your Apple ID password will not work in third-party clients. Create one at appleid.apple.com after enabling two-factor authentication.
Those caps make single-mailbox sending fine for personal mail but a poor fit for cold outreach at volume. Emailchaser spreads sending across warmed inboxes and manages deliverability, so you can scale without burning iCloud Mail accounts.
What are iCloud Mail's SMTP settings?
iCloud Mail's outgoing (SMTP) server is smtp.mail.me.com. Use port 587 (STARTTLS). STARTTLS on 587. Sign in with your full email address and password (or app password).
What is iCloud Mail's IMAP or POP3 server?
iCloud Mail's incoming IMAP server is imap.mail.me.com on port 993 (SSL/TLS). POP3 is not supported.
Which port should I use for iCloud Mail?
Use port 587 with STARTTLS wherever it's offered — it's the modern standard for authenticated sending. Port 465 with SSL/TLS is a solid alternative. Avoid port 25, which most networks block for client sending. iCloud Mail's recommended value is above.
Why won't my iCloud Mail SMTP connection work?
Check authentication first: Requires an app-specific password — your Apple ID password will not work in third-party clients. Create one at appleid.apple.com after enabling two-factor authentication. Then confirm the host, port and security method match exactly — a 587/SSL or 465/STARTTLS mismatch will fail to connect.
Can I send bulk or cold email through iCloud Mail?
Not at scale. About 1,000 messages per day and up to 500 recipients per day. Providers throttle bursts to fight spam, so pushing cold email through one mailbox hits limits and wrecks deliverability. High-volume outreach belongs on dedicated infrastructure that spreads sending across warmed inboxes — which is what Emailchaser does.
