Hello PARTICIPANT OBSERVER

My name is Muffuh Bertrand and i'm an independent advisor and a Microsoft user like you. It appears you are having an issue setting up iCloud Mail to send and receive emails.

To set up iCloud Mail so you can send and receive emails from an onmicrosoft.com email address, you need to follow these general steps for configuration. Note that the iCloud Mail service primarily operates through Apple's ecosystem, so you'll be enabling the iCloud Mail feature itself and may link it to other email accounts.

Steps to Configure iCloud Mail

Enable iCloud Mail:

• On your iOS device, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Mail, and turn it on.
  • On a Mac, open System Preferences, then select Apple ID > iCloud, and check Mail to enable it.

1. Create iCloud Email (if not done):
   • If you haven't already set up your iCloud email address, visit iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. You can create an iCloud Mail address by clicking on Mail and following the instructions presented.
   Set Up Your onmicrosoft.com Account:
   • Since you want to receive emails from your onmicrosoft.com domain, you need to add this account in your email client. iCloud itself does not have a native setting for onmicrosoft.com addresses directly, but you can manage this via IMAP settings in email clients that support multiple accounts like Outlook or the Mail app on your devices.
     • You will need your onmicrosoft.com account’s IMAP and SMTP settings, which typically are:

       - **Incoming mail server (IMAP)**: `outlook.office365.com`
       
             - **Outgoing mail server (SMTP)**: `smtp.office365.com`
       
             **Configure Email Client for Both Accounts**:
       
                - If you are using a mail client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, etc.), add both your iCloud Mail and onmicrosoft.com email accounts to the client. When prompted, input the IMAP details for the onmicrosoft.com account.
       
                   - Send and receive settings should be customizable in the account settings section of your email client.
       

2. Test the Configuration:
   • Once the configuration is complete, send a test email from and to both accounts to confirm that everything is set up properly.

These steps provide a comprehensive approach to integrating your onmicrosoft.com email with iCloud Mail through various email clients. Make sure each account is set up to use the correct servers for sending and receiving emails.
