Question

Can I access my iCloud mail with a PC?

I am trying to access my iCloud mail account on a Dell XPS notebook computer and my correct iCloud credentials are rejected by the mail set up program on the Dell PC notebook with a message that they are "out of date." Entering the correct credentials additional times does not resolve the problem. I have signed into iCloud on the PC, but still cannot access my iCloud mail account there either. I am looking for any way that I can use my iCloud mail, address book and calendar with my PC notebook which I need for a certain program that isn't comptible with the Apple operating system. I have not been able to understand what is hanging me up and any help would be appreciated.

Access at iCloud.com or set up email on your PC (Set up iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar in Outlook on your Windows computer - Apple Support)

Thank you for responding. I burned up a lot of hours hoping Outlook would recognize my valid iCloud credentials before discovering an app-specific password had to be created for the Outlook app within iCloud in order to facilitate the syncing of my iCloud based mail, contacts and calendars on my PC. Once I figured out that they wanted an Outlook-specific password rather than my Apple account password which was not at all clear to me from the prompts in the PC mail setup app, I succeeded in achieving access to my data on my PC. It seemed to take quite a bit of searching to find the proper instructions for creating the Outlook-specific password. My problem was resolved by perseverance.
