How do i set up my icloud email with outlook on windows

Karen, see my reply of November 23 above.  I got this information from Microsoft customer service, which was very helpful.  I had changed my Apple password and could not update my iCloud account in Outlook.  After deleting the iCloud account in Outlook (File/Account Settings, Highlight iCloud Account and X Remove), closing Outlook and signing out of iCloud for Windows (all data deleted), I had to reboot two of my four Windows 10 computers for it to work.  But when I signed back in to iCloud for Windows with my Apple user name and regular Apple password (not an application specific password), and reopened Outlook, everything  was there -- mail account, calendar, tasks and contacts.  I don't think you can enter your iCloud account directly into Outlook.  Try it and let us know.  Ron

Bob, I appreciate all your notes and tips that you have given to help with this problem.

I am using an iCloud account and putting in the full email address.  I have followed the above instructions.

I have gotten the 2nd authentication of password and used it.

Lastly, I have uninstalled my iCloud account and reinstalled, and was later suggested.  I still get the error.

"We couldn't log on to the incoming (IMAP) server.  Please check your email address and password & try again."

I am following these instructions:  

• Enter your Name and your iCloud email address;
• In the Account Type, choose IMAP;
• In the Incoming mail server, input:  imap.mail.me.com;
• In the Outgoing mail server, input: smtp.mail.me.com;
• In the Logon Information, input your iCloud username and password. You do not need to put the suffix, @icloud.com on your username. However, if there is an error encountered, try to put your full email address and see if it fixes the problem;
• Put a check mark on Remember password and Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA);
• Click on More Settings;
• On the General tab, input the name of your account. You can choose any name that you want as this tab does not affect the connection in any way;
• On the Outgoing Server tab, put a check mark on My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication;
• Still on the Outgoing Server tab, click on the tick mark for Use same settings as my incoming mail server;
• On the Advanced tab, enter 993 on Incoming server (IMAP) then choose an SSLconnection from the drop-down box;
• Still on the Advanced tab, enter 587 on Outgoing server (SMTP) then choose Autoconnection from the drop-down box. Leave every other options as they are;

If you have any further suggestions, I certainly appreciate it.  I am using Outlook 2019.

I discovered that you can not add iCloud directly to the Outlook app provided in Office 365 under Windows 10.  You need to download the Apple for iCloud app and install in in Windows 10.  Go to this link:  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204283.  Install Outlook 365 first. Then install and run iCloud for Windows.  If you have already installed iCloud for Windows, log out, let it delete all data, delete the iCloud account from Outlook if it is there, close and restart Outlook, then log into iCloud for Windows with your Apple user name and pass word. It will automatically add your iCloud mail account, contacts, calendar and tasks. No need for special passwords or app specific passwords.  I had to reboot my Windows computer to get it to work, but then it was easy.
