I currently have my iCloud account synced with my iPhone, and Mail on my MacBook Pro. I wanted to sync iCloud with Outlook on my Windows PC so I wouldn't have to use the online client to access my mail and information (a slight hassle). However when I add my iCloud account to Outlook, my custom folders do not show up.
- Migrate from iCloud to Outlook Mac; User Query: “Hi, I manage all my email messages inside my iCloud email account. My work requires me to archive some of my iCloud messages and transfer them to my clients. So far, I used Apple Mail for this purpose. However, now an important client of mine requires me to provide him with PST files.
- Starting from scratch and registering a new iCloud/iTunes account I am not able to search for any previously owned apps. By all means, even having the option to log into iCloud/iTunes and being able to search for older contacts, photos, music, songs, media, etc. However, that is the reason I.
Use the latest version of macOS. Update to the latest version of macOS. Go to Apple menu.
This is what the online client of my iCloud mail looks like,
As you can see, on the left bar, I have several custom folders to sort my mail into. These folders appear when I sync my iCloud mail to the Mail application on my Mac, however when I add my iCloud account to Outlook 2010, the folders do not show up, which is a deal breaker for me because besides using the archive function, the folders are largely what I use to sort and find my mail.
My line of work requires that I use my Windows PC much more than my MacBook, and so I'd like to have a more solid integration of my iCloud mail with Outlook so that I don't have to use the online client to access my personal e-mail.

To set up iCloud email on Mac, you need to first generate an app-specific password for Spark using a web browser. Your iCloud account password will not work directly in Spark. To protect your iCloud data and to prevent fraudulent activities with your iCloud account, Apple requires that you generate different passwords for logging into apps.
Generate an app-specific password for Spark on Mac:
To generate an app-specific password with iCloud, follow these instructions:
- Go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and sign in to your Apple account using your Apple ID and Password. Then you will need to proceed with two-factor authentication. To do this, follow steps 2 and 3 below.
- Confirm your identity by clicking “Allow” button on your Apple device.
- Enter the 6-digit verification code that will pop-up on your Apple device on this screen.
