iCloud Mail + Gmail

iCloud Mail and Gmail in one inbox — on any device

iCloud Mail is at home on an iPhone and a Mac. On Android, on a Windows computer or next to Gmail it gets awkward. Stjobno Mail shows both in one list in any browser.

Short answer: generate an app-specific password at account.apple.com and an app password in your Google Account, add both addresses and read them together anywhere.

Good to know

  • Use your full iCloud address as the user name — name@icloud.com or name@me.com.
  • Hide My Email addresses are not mailboxes of their own: their mail arrives in your iCloud inbox.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Sign in to Stjobno Mail

    With Google it is one press, and the account is free.

  2. 2

    Generate an app-specific password at Apple

    account.apple.com → Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords — the steps are below.

  3. 3

    Create an app password for Gmail

    Turn on 2-Step Verification, then create the password at myaccount.google.com/apppasswords — the steps are below.

  4. 4

    Add both addresses

    Type each address and its app password; the servers are filled in for you. Each mailbox gets its colour.

The passwords and servers, provider by provider

iCloud Mail: an app-specific password

  1. Two-factor authentication must be on for your Apple Account — it is on for almost every account.
  2. Sign in at account.apple.com → Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords and generate one named "Stjobno Mail".
  3. Use your full iCloud address and that password in Stjobno Mail.
Incoming (IMAP)
imap.mail.me.com:993 · SSL
Outgoing (SMTP)
smtp.mail.me.com:587 · STARTTLS
Stjobno Mail fills these in by itself when you type the address.
Apple Account

Gmail: an app password

  1. Turn on 2-Step Verification in your Google Account: myaccount.google.com → Security.
  2. Open myaccount.google.com/apppasswords, type a name such as "Stjobno Mail" and press Create.
  3. Copy the 16-letter password Google shows — it is shown once — and use it in Stjobno Mail instead of your Google password.

IMAP is always on in Gmail, there is nothing to switch on. A work or school Google account connects only if its administrator allows app passwords.

Incoming (IMAP)
imap.gmail.com:993 · SSL
Outgoing (SMTP)
smtp.gmail.com:465 · SSL
Stjobno Mail fills these in by itself when you type the address.
Google: app passwords

Questions and answers

Does iCloud Mail work on Android this way?

Yes. Stjobno Mail works in any browser and can be installed as an app on Android, so your iCloud mail is there too — with push notifications for personal mail.

Is my Apple Account password stored?

No. You give only the app-specific password, which works for mail alone and can be revoked at account.apple.com at any time. It is kept encrypted.

Do I have to pay?

No. Reading, writing and sorting the mail of all your mailboxes is free, with no limit on the number of mailboxes. Only the optional AI functions are paid.
