Done setup as shown multiple times. Outlook 2016. Keep getting password dialog for imap.mail.me.com and using identical credentials to icloud setup fails.

Are you using an app specific password for your iCloud account in the Outlook password field?

To generate app specific passwords, your Apple ID must have either 2 Step Verification, or 2 Factor Authentication.

Your screen shot clearly shows the email domain as @daino.com. That may be your Apple ID, but it is not where Apple sends you email. Apple has no ability to deliver your mail there via their servers.


@daino.com has their own servers and you need the IMAP and SMTP settings for it. It appears to be your corporate domain, so I suggest you consult whoever set that up for you.


My Apple ID is an @gmail address but I don't get mail directly from Apple servers at that address. I have a matching @icloud email address that would require an app specific password in Outlook.

Have never used an app specific password before and never had this problem before. I had to create a new profile. The old one worked fine for icloud email, but another imap account had a folder structure issue solved by using a new profile. Always just let icloud add the icloud email account to outlook through the icloud app and always worked until now.
