Hey bwind,


You will want to first create an iCloud account, if you haven’t already:

Next, sign in to that iCloud account on your iPhone and iPad, and turn on the syncing for notes:

Then you will want to download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows:


iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows

You will find your notes in their own section on Outlook:


iCloud: Notes overview

On your Windows computer, your changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook in the Notes folder of your iCloud email account. You can see your iCloud notes by expanding your iCloud email account in the Outlook folder pane (also called the navigation pane), then selecting the Notes folder in the email account.

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

You would need to have an account that is able to sync notes. For example icloud.com/gmail.com/yahoo.com and some other IMAP server based email accounts.


Some people wanted to keep their original email, but wasn't IMAP such as hotmail.com. But what they've done was to go to one of of the above. Created an account and just used that for the Notes, Calendar and what not syncing. But just left the email portion alone.
