Apple iCloud Mail

Apple iCloud Mail (@icloud.com, @me.com, @mac.com, and iCloud+ Custom Email Domains) connects through Aimly's Custom SMTP/IMAP option using an Apple app-specific password.

1. Generate an Apple app-specific password​

Two-factor authentication must be enabled on your Apple Account before creating an app-specific password:

  1. Sign in at account.apple.com (see Apple's app-specific password guide).
  2. Under Sign-In and Security, select App-Specific Passwords.
  3. Click Generate an app-specific password (or the + button), enter Aimly, and follow the confirmation prompt.
  4. Copy the xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx password displayed on screen.

2. Connect in Aimly Email​

  1. Go to Mailboxes → Add Mailbox and complete Step 1 (Signature & extras) and Step 2 (Rate limiting).

  2. In Step 3: Connect your mailbox, select Custom as the Email Provider and fill in:

    FieldValue
    Email AddressYour iCloud or iCloud+ custom-domain email address
    SMTP Hostsmtp.mail.me.com
    SMTP Port587
    IMAP Hostimap.mail.me.com
    IMAP Port993
    Sent FolderSent Messages

  3. Continue to Step 4: Secure your mailbox, paste your Apple app-specific password, and save. Aimly verifies live SMTP and IMAP connectivity before saving the mailbox.

Custom iCloud+ domains

If you send from an iCloud+ Custom Email Domain, enter that custom email address in the Email Address field above while authenticating with the Apple Account app-specific password that owns it.
