- Oct 11, 2013 To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements. The requirements for Lion are: Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended) 7GB of available space.
- However, Calendars will break regularly (system updates often break it) and is kind of a PITA. If you really need iCloud Calendars and Contacts on 10.6.8 and you can't upgrade to Lion or newer then use Soho Organizer, it works perfectly on 10.6. But it is also $100. Mar 8, 2014 6:41 AM.
- Question: Q: Activating iCloud on OS X 10.6.8 - iCloud does not show in System Preferences, and upgrading to more recent OS will slow computer. Can I activate iCloud on this device? It's the 2008 MacBook aluminum model.
For the best iCloud experience, make sure your device meets the minimum system requirements.

I've also been able to use iCloud email in Entourage using settings suggested for Outlook 2011 at answers.microsoft.com. I tried to include a link in this reply, but it was apparently rejected as spam. I guess I'll find out if including 'microsoft.com' in the body of a reply has the same results.
No luck for me.
Outgoing mail doesn't work. It tells me the iCloud SMTP server is offline. In fact, it's never worked for me under 10.6 and I've tried every possible SMTP server setting variation. Only incoming mail works.
Have you tried changing the password once on your Apple ID? Early adopters of iCloud had passwords incompatible with the iCloud SMTP server. Changing the password once, then waiting about 10 minutes, and there is a chance the SMTP server will be functional for you.
What I have had to do when setting up iCloud accounts on older Mail.app or all other mail clients is to NOT use SSL, regular old port 25, with your iCloud email address as the username, and (obviously) your password as the password.
Try that and see if it works for you. Non-encrypted SMTP is not cool, but is probably something most people can live with.
Works for me with Mac OS X 10.6.8. Thank you!

Still doesn't work for me (10.6.8). Neither incoming nor outgoing mail work. Oh well, I'm planning on upgrading my aging MacBook anyway with some Christmas money..

They seem to work!
What for p04-smtp.mail.me.com if smtp.mail.me.com works just fine? Fender lap steel serial numbers dating.
Is my current mac.com address equivalent to a me.com address, or do I need to delete the mac.com account?
Is OSX 10.6/7 needed for anything other than to install iCloud?
If I install it with the newer versions of OSX can I then use it with, say, 10.4.11?
Yes, iCloud has presented some problems.
My primary email, which is a .mac account isn't a problem at all.
The problem is with my long established business alias account, also a .mac account.
Clients are unable to send me mail on that account. It just bounces back.
To date, Apple are unable to figure out the problem.
In fact none of my email was working. It turned out that their engineers had established a new password to troubleshoot the issue on their end.
I hope they can fix this. I have thousands of dollars of advertising out there with my inaccessible business email on.
This is the biggest screw up I have ever encountered with Apple.
Once again to date, (it's been over two weeks) no resolve.
A friend, running 10.6.8 was stuck with his old me.com account after upgrading it to iCloud.
He wasn't able to RECEIVE messages due to the wrong (and grey = un-editable) server for incoming mail.. he could SEND mail alright, and of course do both through the iCloud.com webpage.
Creating a new account with the same address is refused by the Mail app.
So we backed all mail up (the 'users/**hisname**/library/mail/' folder), and deleted the old me.com account. Then we set it up again (really only entering the Apple ID and the password). The new account had exactly the same settings as before, but it works again.. go figure..
All the mailboxes he had created to store various messages came back as well !
