Can I set up an iCloud email account on my laptop?

Can I set up an iCloud email account on my laptop?


I've done it before, but when I got a new computer last year, it won't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My email creates an account, then "Attention required" appears. I've changed my password and nothing seems to work.


Thank You

Gai

See the instructions in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/set-up-email-in-the-mail-app-for-windows-10-7ff79e8b-439b-4b47-8ff9-3f9a33166c60


Note that you will need to have two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple ID and you will need to use an app-specific password rather than your usual Apple password. See information in Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

and

If you need additional settings, see: Mail server settings for iCloud email clients - Apple Support
