To add iCloud Mail to Windows 10, you'll need to set up an IMAP account. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

  1. Make sure you have an iCloud account and have enabled IMAP access for your iCloud Mail account.
  2. Ensure that your Windows 10 device is connected to the internet.

Step 1: Create an IMAP account in Windows 10

  1. Open the Start menu and search for "Mail" (or "Mail and Calendar" in some versions of Windows 10).
  2. Click on "Mail" to open the Mail app.
  3. Click on "Settings" (represented by a gear icon) in the top right corner of the window.
  4. Click on "Manage accounts" and then click on "Add account".
  5. Select "Other account" and then click "Next".
  6. Choose "IMAP" as the account type and click "Next".

Step 2: Enter your iCloud Mail account details

  1. Enter your iCloud Mail address (e.g., [yourname]@icloud.com) and your iCloud password.
  2. Make sure the "IMAP" option is selected under "Account type".
  3. Enter the following IMAP settings:
    • Incoming mail server: imap.mail.me.com
    • Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.me.com
    • Port: 993 (for incoming) and 587 (for outgoing)
  4. Click "Next" to continue.

Step 3: Set up your iCloud Mail account

  1. You may be prompted to enter a verification code sent to your iCloud Mail account. Enter the code to verify your account.
  2. If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) with your iCloud account, you may need to enter the verification code sent to your trusted device or authenticator app.
  3. Once verified, click "Finish" to complete the setup process.

Step 4: Configure your iCloud Mail account settings

  1. In the Mail app, click on the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear icon) in the top right corner of the window.
