Okay Vicki, I am going to make certain assumptions in this post so please be certain to explore any resulting dialog boxes, thoroughly, before proceeding and use your best judgment in deciding if the step is appropriate to your situation. Here are the general broad-strokes on how to get iCloud mail up and running on your Windows 7 PC.
1. Understand that you must generate an app-specific iCloud password in order to access iCloud mail on any Windows platform. 2. I have never used Outlook Express so recommend that you setup your iCloud account via Outlook 2010. 3. Make certain that all email clients are closed before proceeding to the next step. 4. >From the Windows Control Panel, select Mail. 5. Select Show Profiles. A list of email account profiles will appear. 6. Delete any existing profiles. 7. Select Add. 8. Give the profile a name. 9. Enter your email credentials and select to manually configure server settings. 10. At this point, use the iCloud server settings that you found from your Google search. Finally, remember that you will have to enter the app-specific password that you generated, not your usual iCloud password.

I am mostly using the version of Outlook Express that works with Windows 7, but I can also use Outlook 2010. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
