i just downloaded Thunderbird from Mozilla because it's the only program I can use to access my hosting email addresses in a easy way, but when I try to add my iCloud account, I get an error.

Here's how I'm trying to configure it (sorry for the Spanish).

These settings work for me.

Incoming

  • Protocol: IMAP
  • Server: imap.mail.me.com
  • Port: 993
  • SSL: SSL/TLS
  • Authentication: Normal password

Outgoing

  • Protocol: SMTP
  • Server: smtp.mail.me.com
  • Port: 587
  • SSL: STARTTLS
  • Authentication: Normal password

Username for both should just be your actual username "karlo_lopez", not your whole email address.
