"Add an email account to Outlook Before setting up ICloud"

When I click the boxes in Icloud to sync the Outlook calander and Contacts I get the message "Add an email account to Outlook Before setting up Icloud" I have an hotmail account synced up into my outlook. Am i doing something wrong or is this an issue apple needs to fix.
I am running Windows 7 pro with 64bit and outlook 2010

johnfromfort dodge: I can't access your latest reply for some reason, but I'll respond anyway.
I'm using both the calendar and contacts with Outlook 2010 on two PCs & iPhone 3GS and it works fine. I had trouble at first getting it to recognize Outlook on my main PC, but when I installed it on my husband's, it worked the first time.
When I finally got it working on mine, I did get a mess of a calendar, but I just deleted what it imported, then replaced it with my backup. I was a bit worried what would happen when my husband's came back online, but it seems to be working great.
Sure, it took some time and frustration, but it's worth it. I've been waiting for a solution like this for a long time. Plugging my phone into iTunes on 2 PCs to keep everything in sync was a drag and that didn't always work seamlessly either.

On trying to set up iCloud to sync with my outlook calendar I got this error msg 'No Outlook Email-Add an email account to Outlook before setting up iCloud'.

My hotmail email is the only email set up (via the connector) in Outlook. Can iCloud work with a hotmail address or do I need another one and if so do I just add another account/email the normal easy way and it will all work or is there something else I have to do?????

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Why can't iCloud verify my email address?

I don't know, could you possibly give us more details to make it easier to troubleshoot your issue? What have you tried and what errors have you encountered?

How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only". Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
“Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
First, create the account in Outlook: -
Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
In the Outgoing server field, type
nomail.
Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
Deselect the option to
Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
Click on the
Finish to return to Outlook.
Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
Send and Receive Settings for this account.
Press
Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
Click the
Edit button.
Select the receive-only account, then deselect
Send Mail Items.
Click on the
OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

How do you set up a .mac email account in Outlook?

My .mac email address stopped working in Outlook (2010) on 4/30/12. Is this something to do with the new icloud? I reset my password, but that did not seem to help. I can log in to me.com still, but Outlook still does not recognize something and will not download msg's. Can I still set up an old .mac email account in Outlook? thx

I have a similar problem with my husband's PC. I've finally got iCloud set up for him but Outlook doesn't recognize his iCloud user name/password and won't collect his mail.

HT4061 I cannot add my email account...for 2 days it keeps saying, yahoo server unavailable...but I have it on my computer!!

I cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone. I have been trying for 2 days and it keeps saying Yahoo server is unavailable...I can access my email on my computer, and was also able to add another email account to my iphone, but not the yahoo account.

I checked the settings as per your link above and I have them set up correctly on my ipad (I have yahoo plus). That is to say I have added the plus.stmp.mail.yahoo.com as an outgoing server with the server port 465 but it still doesn't work.
Annoyingly, I also took the advice of some earlier posts and changed my yahoo password and now I can't get email on my iphone 4 either - it was working perfectly before. I put in the new password and now both the ipad and iphone give me the "server unavailable" message. Grrrrrr....

Can't add ANY email accounts to iPhone

I can't add any email accounts to my iPhone's mail application. (it used to work just fine) I have tried to enter my account information using my yahoo, gmail, and exchange and none work. I enter my account information and after it verifies it takes me to "account" which is only a blank screen. I have tried entering account information both directly on the mail app and under settings.
Anyone having a similar problem? anyone have any ideas of how to fix or what's wrong?

preciosa1435,
Have you tried Resetting All Settings? To do so, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.
If that doesn't work, restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone (instead of restoring from backup) should ultimately resolve the issue.

HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues. What I would suggest you do is the following:
If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on. This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

Two email accounts and outlook integration

Hi, all-
We are using the Outlook Integration in B1 version 2007A p. 42. My Outlook version is 2007. We are morphing to emailing invoices to customers instead of snail-mailing them. My problem is I have an accounting user that has 2 email accounts as we run different divisions in B1 all out of the same company. B1 does not give her the option to choose what email account to send from - it simply sends from her default email account. This causes a huge problem as she has to manually switch her default email account in Outlook every time she sends for a different division. This is prone to huge human error issues.
All of our business partners are assigned by division using a division designation stored in a UDF.
Question: is there any way I can configure B1 to somehow send this division designation to Outlook, and can I configure Outlook to read this field, add the proper divisional signature to the email, then send it through the proper account?
Thanks,
Shelby

Maybe you should ask on a Microsoft forum rather than one dedicated to the using the iPhone in an enterprise environment.

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account to facetime and iMessage. Is there something else I can do?

Hi,
I don't ever remember getting an email when Adding an account.
Apple seems to verify it some other way (a self test to see if it is valid ? an actual email ?)
I tried adding an older @mac.com account that is not a valid email (gained when MobileMe was the Apple service and the @Mac.com registration was used for iChat names).
I then tried to add a Yahoo one.
This got past the first part and said an email has been sent.
As you say this has never arrived.
( checked the web Site for Yahoo Mail as well as my Mail App.)
In each case I also checked the Spam and Junk folders in both places.
I then tried an iCloud ID.
(FaceTime seems to treat the Original Apple ID and the iCloud issued email as separate IDs)
I did not get and email (Although it said it was sent) I did get a Pop up for the FaceTime app asking if I wanted to add an email and a second for the actual email itself. (It turned out it added an @me.com email also issued by iCloud before the @icloud.com was issued.
This is much the way iMessages adds emails when you add the emails to an iPhone, the Mac version gets pop ups.
I recently had something similar in Messages that might be related.
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) it seemed it could be any Apple ID that was used.
In Messages 8 it seems this has to be an iCloud linked one.
The @mac.com one I used above could not be added to iMessages either when I tried it about two months ago.
It might be one I have removed the creating/Recovery email so that i could create another Apple ID.
The name continues to work in Messages as an AIM valid screen name but I could not add it as the iMessages account and got sent to iCloud to "register" it but ran into problems that I have not sorted out yet.
EDIT.
Checked the Apple ID site and the @mac.com email I used has no linked Alternative/recovery email.

Hello there, shallotte07.
The following iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant should get you through all the steps to set up mail:

Remember that some Service Providers require particular settings, and you may need to contact them directly to acquire that information. Check out the "Email cheat-sheet" section in the information that follows:
If iPhone can't find your service provider's settings, this article can help you obtain the necessary account settings from your provider.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How do I add an email account for my kids

I am trying to add additional email accounts for my kids. How do I go about creating one?

Log in with your primary account, then navigate to the Account Profile page. At the bottom, there's a section called Sub-accounts. You should have a button there for adding a new sub account.
