iCloud mail sync with outlook 2016 on MAC I have all the latest software - El Capitan, Outlook 2016 fully patched, and an iCloud account that I can log into (from Safari) using either thisIsMe@icloud.com or thisIsMe@gmail.com with thisIsMyPassword.

I setup Mac Outlook 2016 as per web instructions...

E-mail address: thisIsMe@icloud.com
User Name: thisIsMe
Password:  thisIsMyPassword
Incoming Server: imap.mail.me.com:993 (SSL checked)
Outgoing Server: smtp.mail.me.com:587 (SSL checked)


I have tried everything... sadly no combination of anything makes it all 'just work'. :( 

What am I doing wrong?
Solved. The issue was the 2-factor authentication. The solution, go to Manage your Apple ID, Edit by security, create an APP-SPECIFIC PASSWORD..



The rest is self-explanatory. Thank you for your consideration.
