Use iCloud+ Custom Email Domain with Outlook for Windows

Hi,

I´ve set up an iCloud+ Custom Email Domain with Apple and I wanted to use the custom domain also on the Outlook App for Windows, where my @icloud.com email address is also set up. The customer email domain works at icloud.com and also via the mail app for apple, I can send and receive mails from and to the domain. After the initial set up via the settings from icloud it got automatically added. The domain works like an "alias" for the @icloud.com email. The incoming mails are received/ and the outgoing emails are in the send folded by icloud.com. I tried to add the email as an additional mail account on Outlook, it did not establish a connection to the server. I tried to change the icloud account information via Outlook; selected iCloud account, then clicked on account settings, then manage profile, and the email account; I tried to change the email to the custom domain there, but received the same issue. Do you have any suggestions how to use the customer iCloud Email Domain on the Outlook App, so I can sent and receive mails from that domain?

    I have the same issue when using an apple custom domain with Outlook client. The above mentioned instructions worked; however, it is only good for one apple custom domain.

    Is there an option to setup Outlook client for multiple apple custom domains without the display below?

    ******@icloud.com; on behalf of; alias@applecustomdomain

    I got this to work on iOS using the settings above but setting smtp security to TLS instead of SSL. So, use the custom email address as the email address, then use the iCloud email address as username for both imap and smtp, with app-specific pw, and the different security settings. Not sure if that solves the problem on Mac but it works for iOS.

    I totally agree, as long as we can not use an icloud+ domain on Outlook Mac, i will not be using this product.

    I got this to work just fine, using IMAP and my username @icloud with email address @customdomain. However, I have 2 custom domains, and in my case I can add the IMAP twice, which then leads to double everything. Furthermore, the first IMAP I added worked perfectly, in terms of showing my email address, but my "full name" is my email address and I can't seem to edit it. The second email address I added is annoying in that it actually works fine, but in Outlook it shows up as my iCloud address despite setting it up exactly as I did with the first account. Again, shows up as @icloud.com when composing, but the email received is the custom domain address.

    I tried to get smart by adding both addresses separated by commas (like Apple Mail does) but that didn't do it either. I don't really want to mess with double everything either, so not sure I'll use Outlook until Microsoft somehow makes Outlook work better with iCloud+ custom domains.
