Hi,
My primary email account is a Yahoo (because I'm old) email. New Outlook in Windows 11 allowed me to add this account no problem, and so I see all my favourite spam in my email when I open Outlook, just as you would want.
However, my primary calendar app is on my iPhone, which is obviously tied to my iCloud account. I would therefore like to add this iCloud account to Outlook. I just can't seem to be able to do this? Why not? Well, I'm aware of generating app-specific passwords and have tried adding the account using Apple's IMAP settings and all that jazz, but that's not the problem. The problem is that when I signed up for iCloud, oh, back in 2010 or so, it allowed me to use my Yahoo email address. Basically, my iCloud log in/username/email address is the same email address as my Yahoo email.
So, what happens is, if I try to add my icloud address to Outlook, it understandably tries to log me into Yahoo to grant access, and eventually says, 'you've already added this account'. Well, no I haven't, but I get it. If I try to add the account manually using the IMAP settings, it doesn't like it and says there's some error, even though there isn't one.
The annoying thing is, that old Outlook and the Windows 10 mail app, had no problem. I just said 'add iCloud account' or 'add Yahoo account' and added in my username (the same for both) and password and they both were added no problem at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
