I have just needed to reconfigure my Outlook mail client after installing WIN 10 (another story!). I have achieved the connection using iCloud for windows etc but am faced with a server ( p02-smtp.mail.me.com ) login panel which refuses to recognise me. what is the format of the user name that it requires? I have tried all the obvious combinations. I can send and receive mail from my apple devices OK.
Thanks

Hello MCheshire,
It sounds like you need iCloud settings to input into Outlook. This article should provide you with the correct, recommended settings:
iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Hi
Thanks for the response. The advice in the support article is what I had already tried and was the way I originally setup the account on my PC which was running Windows 8.1 and Office 2010. No problems there.
I have updated to Windows 10 and Office 2010 on the same PC and the problem has arisen - refused login.
I had this issue with my BTinternet mail and resolved it by repairing a system file using Microsoft's SFC /scannow routine which worked. The Apple issue persists which suggests to me a system file either produced by Apple and iCloud is compromised or a Microsoft file which is used by iCloud is compromised. I have re run the SFC routine which finds no issues with any of the system files.
Help please.

Thanks for the update. After some further research it looks like Windows 10 doesn't yet support iCloud Mail according to this article:
System requirements for iCloud
Microsoft Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. Windows 10 currently isn't supported with iCloud for Windows.
You may still be able to access the email at www.icloud.com.
Thanks for the info. I guessed this may be the case.
Any idea when the solution will be posted, presumably by Microsoft not Apple?
