This only works if you already have an icloud email!

1. Open Settings, and navigate to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"




2. Press "Add Account"




3. Choose "Other"




4. Select "Add Mail Account" and type in your icloud info.




5. Under IMAP>Incoming Mail Server
Host name - p02-imap.mail.me.com
Username - Email excluding "@me.com"




6.Under IMAP>Outgoing Mail Server
Host name - smtp.me.com


Press "Save", and "Done". 
You Can now access your icloud email on a non-iOS5 device.

If you cannot send mail: Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Choose Account, under IMAP select your account. Under Outgoing Mail Server select SMTP, select the Primary Server, and under Outgoing Mail Server input the optional Username and Password along with switching Use SSL to "on".
