I had this problem too, but the app-specific password generator did the trick for me.
As my iCloud email is protected with Apple's two step verification, I needed an 'app-specific password' to sign into an app that's not provided by Apple, like Windows Mail which doesn't support entering verification codes.
Here's the steps (done via my laptop):
Your iCloud email should now start to appear. Despite spending days looking at the config settings, it seems Windows Mail pre-set config is correct, so you shouldn't need to change the incoming or outgoing email server settings:
Incoming email server: imap.mail.me.com:993:1
Outgoing (SMTP) email server: smtp.mail.me.com:587:1
I hope this helps someone. A word of warning though. If you change your primary Apple ID password, all your app-specific passwords will be automatically revoked and you'll need to generate a new one for any apps you want to keep using.
How do i create an app-specific password nw because apple doesn't show a section for that under security?
DIdn't work for me - don't have two step (took that off awhile ago because messing with old kindle app on first generation ipad).... any other ideas? don't have app specific password choice
Thanks a million gOObyegirl. Been trying to get it to work for hours.
So HELPFUL!
Hello,
no mather if a generated app specific password or my own,
I'm getting an error 0x80070422 from Windows 10 Mail & Calendar.
What should I be using as the email address when I set up the iCloud account in windows 10 mail? My apple user ID email or the iCloud email address? the two are different on my account.
I cannot get this to work.
