Tips and Considerations
- Before transferring your email data, make sure you have the necessary permissions and access to your iCloud account.
- If you have a large amount of email data, the manual setup method may take some time to complete.
- Using iCloud's built-in export feature may be a more convenient option, but it may not transfer all your email data, such as contacts or calendar events.
- If you're using Outlook 2016 or later, you may need to enable IMAP in your Outlook settings to access your iCloud email account.
