Connect iCloud or any IMAP inbox

iCloud, Yahoo, ProtonMail, and other IMAP accounts.

iCloud and other IMAP providers (Yahoo, ProtonMail Bridge, Fastmail, custom domains) connect with an app password.

iCloud

  1. At appleid.apple.com, go to Sign-In and Security > App-Specific Passwords and create one named "Chesly".
  2. In Chesly: Settings > Email Accounts > Add Email Account > iCloud Mail.
  3. Enter your @icloud.com address and paste the password.

Other IMAP

Pick Other Email in the add-account screen. You'll need:

  • Email address and password (or app password if your provider requires one).
  • IMAP server and port (993).
  • SMTP server and port (587).

Search your provider's help docs for "IMAP settings" if you don't know the servers.

Quick references:

  • Yahoo: generate an app password under Account Security.
  • ProtonMail: run Proton Mail Bridge; connect to 127.0.0.1.
  • Fastmail: app password under Settings > Privacy & Security > Integrations.

Disconnect

Settings > Email Accounts > tap the address > Disconnect. Revoke the app password on the provider side too.
