Adding iCloud mail to Thunderbird
On iCloud on PC it gives you the option to add Mail to Outlook;
Is it possible to add it to other Mail Clients, for me - Mozilla ThunderBird?

As far as I know selecting that checkbox only works for Outlook contacts, Calendars and Tasks. It's not possible to sync Thunderbird with iCloud without using another 3rd-party app for that. You can add other email accounts (@gmail, @yahoo, etc) in the Apple mail app on iPhone/iPad and sync your other email accounts that way. You would also have to import your contacts and sync your calendars separately though.
If you just want to check your @icloud email using Thunderbird you might run into some problems if you have two-step verification turned on for your Apple ID.
If you do not have two step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you can safely ignore this note.
If you use third party clients such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to manage your iCloud Mail account, you will need to generate an app specific password.
To generate an app specific password go to http://appleid.apple.com
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click "edit" next to "Security"
There you will find the "generate app specific passwords" link
