How to use SMTP and IMAP with iCloud email? I've never used @me.com or @mac.com emails before. Neither did I use MobileMe.

So when the iCloud came out last night I created @me.com email account this morning. Registration on its own went just fine. Email account was added to Mail.app.

Questions:


How to setup SMTP as Sending emails doesn't work?

In the iCloud email account settings the SMTP account is set to iCloud (iCloud) which occasionally is displayed as iCloud (iCloud, Offline) - this has been set by the iCloud config when creating the @me.com account
The above iCloud SMTP is not listed in the SMTP servers list
Connection Doctor doesn't check the outgoing iCloud setting either - just as if it didn't exist.
According to Apple's KnowledgeBase on iCloud Email the SMTP server is smtp.mail.me.com, but Mail.app reports an invalid SSL certificate

What would be IMAP settings for the new @me.com accounts?

Mainly asking because the settings iCloud config set are not all filled in and are not following the earlier linked support document, e.g.:

username is the &lt;username&gt;@me.com, not the full address
incoming mail server is p06-imap.mail.me.com and it is grayed out
password field is empty

Receiving emails does work though, not sure why



So, any tips on getting the @me.com working properly? All other iCloud services seem to work fine.



Edit

It seems to have started working for me without any tweaks. I simply had it disabled for last couple of days, enabled now and it started working without any intervention on my side.
Interestingly I had a similar problem last night, and I have been using iCloud for some time now. I suspect it was caused by the live switch on iCloud. I simply went to the iCloud preference panel, logged out and logged back in. The new terms and conditions was shown, I accepted, restarted Mail and everything was working.

I suggest trying this first, because manually configuring it can cause problems in future should Apple decide to make changes to the routes.

The IMAP setting for iCloud is available in this Apple support document.
