Setting Up iCloud IMAP SMTP with Apple Mail

Are you having trouble setting up your iCloud account on Apple Mail using IMAP and SMTP protocols? Look no further! This step-by-step guide will help you navigate through the process, ensuring a smooth connection to your email server.

To begin, open Apple Mail and go to File > Add Account. Then, enter the following details:

* Account Type: Select IMAP

* Incoming Mail Server: Enter `mail.(your domain name)` or IP Address

* Password: Enter your mailbox password (the same one you used in the previous screen)

* Username: Enter your email address

Click Continue to proceed. If you've forgotten your password, don't worry - you can reset it via Konsole.

Once you've entered the necessary details, click on the toolbar at the top and select File > Add Account again. This will bring up a new window with additional settings.

Here's where things get interesting: we need to tweak some ports for a successful connection. We recommend starting with Xneelo's guide, which has been tweaked specifically for this purpose.

Let's take a look at the code snippet below:

```swift

let imapSession = MCOIMAPSession()

imapSession.hostname = params.host

imapSession.port = UInt32(params.port)

imapSession.password = params.password

connectionType = MCOConnectionType(rawValue:)

authType = MCOAuthType(rawValue:)

imapSession.timeout = 30.0

imapSession.isCheckCertificateEnabled = params.checkCertificateEnabled

connectionLogger = MCOConnectionLogger()

```

This code snippet shows how to establish an IMAP connection using MailCore2 in a Swift project.

After setting up your account, you may encounter issues with authentication or login errors. If you're hosting with Hetzner (now Xneelo) like we do, you'll often find yourself going around in circles trying to verify identities or getting login errors. Don't worry - this is a common issue!

In conclusion, setting up iCloud IMAP SMTP on Apple Mail requires some attention to detail and tweaking of ports. By following these steps and referencing Xneelo's guide, you should be able to establish a successful connection to your email server.
