I'm trying to add my apple iphone contact list info into my MS Outlook

Where are your current Contacts behind hosted? Locally, at Apple with some Apple ID, or elsewhere?

If you have user@example.net as your Apple ID using some other mail-hosting provider and not an iCloud email address hosted at Apple, then there is no iCloud email address.

In general, your Apple ID credentials are your user@example.net with your password.

Here is how to configure your Apple Contacts and related information from Microsoft Outlook mail client on Microsoft Windows:

Set up iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar in Outlook on your Windows computer - Apple Support

Per that, you need an iCloud email address, and you don't have one here. (Before getting started, make sure you’ve set up an @icloud.com email address) You'll need to use a CalDAV server or some other contacts server info wherever you're hosting your mail, or set up your contacts on an Apple ID with iCloud storage.

PS: Something·net is a real and registered domain. It exists, and is in use. For examples and documentation, and for postings such as this, the domains example.com, example.net, and example.org are available.

Please post the name of your ISP.

Do not try creating accounts for now, lest something get changed or corrupted and problems ensue.

If you don't have an iCloud.com (or MobileMe or .Mac) email address and its associated mail, you can either move your mail hosting and the rest to Apple by modifying the Apple ID, or can create a wholly new Apple ID and move your content to that. Moving your content to a new Apple ID is not a small project. You will not be able to migrate purchases and subscriptions.

Or much closer to what you want to do, aim Outlook at whatever host is hosting your Contacts info.

That's not Apple.

It's almost certainly the provider where you are hosting your not-iCloud mail from your Apple ID.

Fro what you've posted, and I could well be confused, but this all appears to be a question about using Windows tools with some other not-Apple hosting provider, and not anything associated with Apple, other than that your Apple devices are also referencing a not-Apple hosting provider.

Re-read what I posted. ISP. Not address.

Um.... no. I'm not going to post my email address out here in the clear. I get enough spam as it is.

I had asked for the name of the ISP, and not for your email address. That so I could look up ISP-specific details, such as whether the ISP was running CalDAV and CardDAV servers for calendar and contact info.

But I'm done here, and am unfollowing this thread. I wish you well with this.

It would be immediately obvious to me what my e-mail address was if I did that.

Why? There is no way you would know my email address if I said it was Gmail. Which it is. Now that you've said that, though, people might guess you use the first part of your email address as your username. But, that's something no one would have known otherwise.

I'm going to follow MrHoffman's example.

Best of luck.

You were not asked for your email address. Just the name of your email service provider, the part after the @.
