Q: I want to connect iCloud to Windows 7 via Outlook.
I have done all the steps as indicated in iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support (HT202304) with regards to Windows. I am unable to get past the test part of imap.mail,me.com. Yes, I've set the port to 993 and enabled SSL. Likewise for the outbound side the port is set to 587 with SSL enabled. For the imap I've tried TLS and outbound side with TLS and STARTTLS. Nothing works. As a side note, with Thunderbird and another mail client, I have the same problem. I simply cannot connect to the iCloud server. I have searched the history of this, however, I can't find a similar case, so sorry if this has already been answered, but this leaves me stumped. I have no problem from an Apple product Mac, iPhone, iPad, but it's a no go from Windows (I've tried on two Windows machines, one 7 64bit Ultimate, the other 8.1 64bit Pro. Any suggestions?
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7;8 GB; 512 GB
