How to setup ICloud mail on your desktop or laptop using an E-mail client of your choice.

Here are the IMAP and SMTP settings required for iCloud mail: Mail server settings for iCloud email clients - Apple Support

These mail server setting should (will) work across all known mail clients, absent setup issues with or bugs with the particular mail client, or local network security policies or related similar security or connectivity issues.

All mail clients have two groupings of credentials for each mail server. You will need to set up the read/retrieve (IMAP) and sending (SMTP) settings either using provided automatic tools, or manually. The two groupings are the read-retrieve (IMAP) , and mail-sending settings (SMTP). Each group will typically have server login credentials, security settings (TLS enabled, here), and a host name specification. One for reading and receiving, and one for sending. Some clients can assume an overlap, but that’s not a requirement of mail servers; IMAP and SMTP can be the same, or different, depending on how the mail server administrators have configured the servers.

If you have issues with the Thunderbird app and particularly its apparently-malfunctioning automated settings retrieval mechanism, establish the necessary configuration manually, and then have a chat with the folks maintaining Thunderbird around the automated setup mechanism.

If you have particular issues with a particular mail client such as Thunderbird on some other and unknown platform, check with the folks supporting that mail client—the host and settings requirements details for the mail server are consistent across all mail clients, though the user interfaces and the capabilities of the various mail clients can and do vary. The mail clients also have different mechanisms for logging connection activity and troubleshooting.

It is also possible that some networks will block connections.

Your normal iCloud password will not work with non-Apple apps or devices. Where you are using a non-Apple app to access your email or other facilities using apps, you are now required to use an 'app-specific' password in place of your normal iCloud password. In order to do this you need to set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, and for this you need to have either a Mac running El Capitan or above, or an iOS device running iOS9 or above.

Using app-specific passwords - Apple Support

______________________________________________________________________________

If you are unable to set up two-factor authentication you should set up 2-step verification and use that to create an app-specific password (see link below) . Then go to https://appleid.apple.com , select 'Password and Security'; click 'Generate an App-Specific Password' and follow the instructions. Once you have the password, copy it and paste it into the password field in the application instead of your usual iCloud password. You should also keep a note of it (though you can generate a new one if required).

Two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support

You will need to nominate a 'trusted device' - any phone capable of receiving SMS messages. There will be a 2-day wait before you can complete the process.

(A particular caveat (about 2-step only) - you will be issued with a 'Recovery Key' in case you lose your 'trusted device'. Make sure to write this down and keep it in a safe place; if you lose both it and your trusted device you will be permanently locked out of your ID. You'd be surprised at the number of people who've posted here that they've got themselves into just that position.)

Please start your own thread, as this is a very different question.

In that new posting and that new thread, please consider adding a few more words to explain your preferred end results of making this change to your Apple ID.

An Apple ID is usually an email address, so deleting the address means deleting the Apple ID, which means that everything associated with that Apple ID will no longer be available, all purchases and subscriptions gone, and any devices still associated with that Apple ID through Activation Lock will be permanently and irrevocably unavailable to you and anyone else; junk.

Changing the associated email address is usually possible.

Deleting an alias email address associated with an Apple ID is also possible.

If it’s not clear from the above, a few more words around what you want to have happen here would help address your particular question. In your new thread, what is your current situation, and what do you want to have happen here?

You wish to delete something you’re referring to as an “i cloud e mail” address.

What you want to delete is unclear.

Whether the implications of deleting whatever you’re trying to delete are understood is also unclear.

If English is not your preferred language, please post your question in a language you prefer.

I do not understand your question.

Do you wish to delete your Apple ID entirely?

If English is not your preferred language, please post your question and some background in your native language.

The app-specific password requirements are listed in the previously-cited article, FWIW.
