Has anyone been able to get their app specific password working on a pc? I have reset it numerous times and have tried Outlook 2021, 2013, Thunderbird, Windows Mail and can't get a connection to my Icloud Email. What is the fix??? Thunderbird... "Unable to log in at server", Outlook... "We couldn't connect to the incoming (IMAP) server. I have other email accounts all working fine with other providers.
Hi Scoski23,
It sounds like you're trying to get your iCloud Mail up and running on Outlook, is that correct? If so, give the steps in the article below a try, and see if they resolve the problem for you:
If you can’t add iCloud Calendars, Mail, or Contacts to Outlook
Most importantly, you'll want to make sure that iCloud for Windows has been installed and it's the most recent version. If the steps don't resolve the issue, please let us know where you get stuck, and we'll go from there.
Cheers!

Hey Scoski23,
Are you able to go to iCloud.com and sign in successfully?
Do you have iCloud for Windows installed on the PC?
"If you're signed in to iCloud for Windows, you don't need an app-specific password when using your Apple ID with third-party Microsoft apps."

Add an iCloud email account to Outlook
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one.
OK. Thanks for confirming you are able to check your iCloud email on our website, but have also tried other ways to connect it.
We'd recommend reaching out to Microsoft Support at this time, specifically because it seems the issue is specific to configuring Outlook to work with your iCloud account. Here's their main support page for contact:

All the best.
Yes, I can go to Icloud.com and sign in and view my email.
I have tried it both ways, with and without Icloud for Windows installed,
either way I stil don't get a connection within Outlook to my Icloud
email account.
I'm trying to get Icloud email running in Outlook on a pc.
So what your saying is Outlook will not work unless Icloud for Windows is installed?
Thanks
