Configure email for iCloud

Hi
How do I configure my Outlook email account with iCloud? I would like this account to sync with all my devices eg. iPHone and iPadI assume that it will work with iCloud, is that correct? The reason I say this is I tried syncing using Yahoo account but it doesn't work.
I have an iCloud account already but that is separate account. Could you please explain and help me configure the Outlook account? I not that technical in this area. I have setup the Outlook account in Mail.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Csound, these are the settings I'm using;
Now, strangely, I can send from the icloud account, but every time it sends and receives it appears to function correctly, but is throwing up the error message each time, see below;
@'Shoot..' - I agree the instructions DO seem straight forward and as far as I can see I am complying. I am also woking with mail, which being Apple's own is syncing correctly with my two mail accounts, I wanted to get Outlook working fully functionally so that I could decide which worked best for me. Also, Outlook syncs nicely with my icloud account online, enabling exchange of contacts etc between my MBP and PC, hence the reason for wanting to keep it.
As ever, grateful for ideas as to what Outlook is seemingly objecting to - thanks (btw I am abroad at the moment and internet access is 'sketchy').
Settings appear correct ......
Outlook is not compatible with iCloud services, it is not "syncing"online (to check put a new event or new contact in iCloud, do it on the website, you will not see it in Outlook)

How to configure SMTP for iCloud?

I have never used the Mail program on my macs. I started using Eudora in 1995 and when Mail came along some years later, i didn't take to it, it didn't have the functionality i needed and enjoyed. Fast forward to a couple days ago, my Snow Leopard MacBook is wearing out and i got a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. When i was setting up the new computer, i thought iCloud would be configured automatically. It wasn't because i have a couple of different Apple IDs but i think that is straightened out now and i'm signed in using the me.com email address and have my calendars and contacts syncing with iphone and my other computer. Mail is working, but only for my me.com email address which i rarely use. I mainly use a gmail address.
I don't want to use Mail and i don't want mail to be downloaded to it. That happened on my other computur, so that i had tens of thousands of messages in a program i never open and don't use. So i somehow turned it off so it no longer gets the mail from my other accounts. i don't want to receive email in Mail. But because i can't use Eudora in Mountain Lion, i need a new email client. Today, i downloaded and installed Mail Mate, i want to try it out. When I tried to use Mail mate to send an email i got a message saying "No SMTP server configured for iCloud." i googled how to configure SMTP for iCloud and what i found said it configures automatically. So i don't know what to do. I went to ICloud in system preferences and i don't see anything i can do there.
Is there anything i can get it to do to configure automatically? All my software is up to date, if that makes a difference.

i was persistently googling search terms for this problem and came across a link that gave information to the effect that for non Apple email clients, SMTP has to be configured manually, and the settings were provided. I entered them into Mail Mate and now it works. So thankfully, this problem is solved.

I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation. It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address. It says its in use.

Hi Guys
I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine. To understand my issue let me explain how it started. My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected] when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account. This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated. [email protected] is the correct email address and works. A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud. this did not send the mail. I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected] it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active. However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID.
I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
Appleid.apple.com
I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
It was verified previously so I was done.
I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
It worked.
It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

Cannot receive verification email for iCloud

I cannot get the verification email for icloud. does anyone have any ideas apple dont appear to.....

The email should be sent to the primary email address you used when setting up the Apple ID you are using to set up your iCloud account. If you aren't sure what email address that is check on My Apple ID. Be sure to check both your inbox and your spam/junk folder. 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.
If you have attempted to resend the verification email multiple times and it still hasn't arrived, try contacting iTunes store support here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. They deal with Apple ID issues all the time and can probably help you with this.
You can check to see if you have a different ID by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, but the verification email should be sent to the email address associated with the ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.

Verfication email for icloud

I have resent the verification email for icloud account multiple times but it never arrives. Very frustrating. Has anyone got any ideas?

Be sure you are checking the email account that you used when setting up your iCloud ID. Be sure to check both the inbox and your spam/junk folder.
If it isn't there, and you've already tried resending it, all you can do is wait it out.

Haven't received verification email for iCloud

My email for iCloud still says verifying. But I haven't received an email yet either.

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you 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.

Cannot reset my Email for iCloud acct on iPhone

I get a message to reset or edit my settings in iCloud but when I go to account the email is gray. I do have a new email for AppleID and Ipad is ok also. Only iPhone is problem.
Under restrictions I have allow changes checked.

Hello,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you have recently changed your email address associated with Apple ID, and are now experiencing issues with iCloud. It sounds like the new address has not yet been verified. Let’s check, and if not verified, go ahead and do so:

No verification email for iCloud

When I attempt to set up iCloud with my email, I get to the point where a verification email is supposed to be sent. It doesn't get sent. When I use the troubleshooting page to check if I have an appleID, an email IS sent to the same email where the verification email is supposed to be sent, asking if I want to change my password. Changing the password does not help.
I have an appleID that I use for my developer account. Because it is not in 'email format' it does not qualify for iCloud.
Any ideas? I would not like to create a new appleID as I want to keep all of my purchases previously made in iTunes.
Thanks.
