iCloud and Google Calendar Conflict: Both Use Same Email Address

I have switched to Windows 10 for mail and calendars as Outlook was taking too long to load. I have set up my gmail account for mail and all is working fine. However I use iCloud for my calendars and want to see my iCloud calendars in Windows 10.

However I am having problems setting up my iCloud account in Windows 10. I enter the relevant details but the "looking for your settings" process never completes. Could this be because I use the same email address for Gmail and my Apple ID?

I suspect I'm making a basic error but would welcome any suggestions. Thank you.

iCloud account settings

I had this problem too, and after 4 days of trying all sorts of fixes (ranging from changing firewall settings, reinstalling the Windows Mail app, applying different config settings), here's what worked for me.

My iCloud email is protected with Apple's two step verification, so I needed an 'app-specific password' to sign into an app that's not provided by Apple, like Windows Mail which doesn't support entering verification codes.

Here's the steps (I did this via my MS Surface Book laptop):

sign into Apple ID with your iCloud email and password:
https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage

if you're a two step verification user, your device (for me, my iPhone) will give you a verification code to enter after you put in your iCloud email password

in the 'Security' section, hit 'Edit'

in the 'App-Specific Passwords' section, hit 'Generate Password...'

enter a label for this password (I typed 'Windows 10 mail app')

hit 'Create'

an app-specific password will be created for you, in this format (case sensitive) tmah-jdbq-rdyy-gdes

copy the password and hit 'Done'

now open up Windows Mail > settings (cog icon) > manage accounts > select your iCloud account and enter your app-specific password then 'Save'

Your iCloud email should now start to appear

This should have worked but it did not. I followed your instructions except Apple would not let me login with my icloud email, saying I could not use an icloud email to access appleid then it switched me to the email address i
signed up with. I think this is why it did not work. It is the only thing I did that was different from instructions. Do you know of a way for me to use my icloud email with appleid? Thank you.

Absolutely superb worked for me like a dream. Many thanks.
