The most frequent problem with iCloud is the username for the IMAP 
settings. It should only be the username part of your email address and 
not the full email address. If that doesn't help then provide your 
account settings.

The recommended settings can be found 
[here](http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4864). Interestingly (and 
inconsistently) Apple writes that the entire email address should be 
used for SMTP, but that does not seem to matter for my test account.

By the way, r4551 should be able to import your iCloud account from 
Apple Mail. You can test this by right-clicking the account to “Remove 
Source” and then use “File ▸ Import Accounts…” to import it.
