This guide will take you each and every step of the way through setting up your @icloud.com email account in Windows 10.
All that you’ll need on your end is your @icloud.com address and the password associated with that account. Here goes:
- Click the Windows 10 “Start” button and select All apps
- Navigate to the M section, and select Mail
- Click Get started
- Now the + Add account button
- Select iCloud from the list of pre-populated email providers.
- Enter your full @icloud.com email address and the password associated with that account in the spaces provided. Click Sign in
- Mail will now do a quick check to make sure the password is correct and then prompt you with a Your name entry field. Put the name you’d like your email messages to appear as though they’re “from” – typically this would be your full name. Click Sign in again.
- Yay! Click Done
- Now back at the Accounts window, click the Ready to go button.
- Give it a go! Click the Sync this view button (see screenshot below) to download your messages.
- Ta-da! All done :)

Doesn't work, continuously states it cannot sign in. Details are correct. I would think just like signing into iCloud online, or through the computer, or another device it will require 2 factor authentication. Why would it be any different with Windows Mail? Why would it be able to bypass the process? Either way, I have never once had any luck with it for 2 years I have tried.
This was pre 2-factor auth... I have to re-write it, which I'll have done in the next day or two at most. Thanks very much for pointing it out!
