Icloud on PC

I recently installed Icloud on a win10 pc. I do not get the option to activate mail (only contacts & agenda).

How do I get my apple account email sync with outlook?

Windows, Windows 10

luckylight,


As the issue continues, test the requirements are met and complete the steps below found in the article here: If you can’t add iCloud Mail, Contacts, or Calendars to Outlook


"Things to check first

  1. Check that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements and is connected to the internet.
  2. Download iCloud for Windows and sign in with your Apple ID. If you have multiple Apple IDs that you use with iCloud, check that you're logged in to iCloud for Windows with the same account that you use on your other devices. 
  3. Check the System Status page for any known issues affecting iCloud Mail, Contacts, or Calendars.
  4. Make sure that the date and time settings on your PC are correct.
  5. Make copies of the information you store in iCloud."


Be sure to continue with the remaining steps and information in the article as well. If the issue continues, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist.

Hi luckylight,


This article will help with setting up iCloud Mail in Outlook: Set up iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar in Outlook on your Windows computer

1. On your Windows computer, open iCloud for Windows.

2. To set up Contacts and Calendar, select “Contacts and Calendars,” click Apply, then follow the onscreen instructions to set up Outlook.
Note: If you see “Mail, Contacts, and Calendars,” selecting that option also sets up your iCloud Mail account.

3. To set up Mail, sign in to Outlook using your Apple ID email address and an app-specific password. See the Apple Support article Using app-specific passwords.

Best regards.

Hi MVegas21,

Thanks for your reply.


I've installed this before on different windows pc's and I always had the possibility to highlight "MAIL, contacts and Calendars". Now it's only "Contacts and Calendars". Adding and IMAP account does not work. Outlook freeze's while telling me 'everything is being prepaired".

I've created an app-specific password, but seems not to be helpful.

I have no idea where to look now.

Thanks,
