iCloud and other IMAP providers (Yahoo, ProtonMail Bridge, Fastmail, custom domains) connect with an app password.
iCloud
- At appleid.apple.com, go to Sign-In and Security > App-Specific Passwords and create one named "Chesly".
- In Chesly: Settings > Email Accounts > Add Email Account > iCloud Mail.
- Enter your
@icloud.comaddress 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.
