Hi Terry,

Okay you missed the part where I gave instructions for creating an
app-specific password. That's the problem you have. You can't enter
your Apple ID password. Let me repeat that. You CANNOT enter your
Apple ID password. That's not the correct procedure. You have to
create an app-specific passord.

1. Go to iCloud.com
2. Log in, which might require 2-factor authentication
3. Choose the Settings icon
4. Select Manage ID
5. Select Generate App-Specific Passwords.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for staying the course so far!

I cannot get beyond step 4 as I do not have any reference to 'Generate
App-Specific Passwords' on the Manage ID page:

I've included some annotated screenshots below in the hope that they
provide further clues:

Note also that I don't use 2-factor authentication. And that I have
installed iCloud for Windows.

Now I am wondering if two-factor is a requirement. I know Google imposses
strict adherence to account access with applications and I am thinking Apple
might do the same. If you run the iCloud for Windows app I think that offers
to setup Outlook from Office. I didn’t bother with that. I just setup
app-specific passwords. You might try calling Apple support on this one.
Shame because this all works for me. I do what you’re trying to do with the
steps I’ve outlined and it all works nicely for me.

Sorry.

6. Fill in a reminder name, like "My Windows PC"
A password will be created. Copy that password.

7. In windows 10, go to the mail app.
8. Choose Accounts Manage Accounts Add Account
9. Choose iCloud
10. Type in your name, your iCloud email address and then paste in
that app-specific password you created in step 6.

Apple's security doesn't allow the use of your AppleID Password on
non-apple hardware and software.

But I can use my Apple pw on my PC. I had to do so several times when
preparing those screenshots. For example:
Tray icon Go to iCloud.com Settings (opened in Edge) Manage
Click right arrow alongside my user name NOW HAVE TO ENTER PW.

I do that for browser related logons, but for email and calendar sync I had
to use the app-specific password. If you do get it solved please let the
group know the solution. I’d bet you need the two-factor and it’s not
well documented or something like that.
