Hi bdaumen,

​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. I see you have a question about checking your email.

If you're using a web browser on a computer, you can Use iCloud.com :

You can use iCloud from anywhere by signing in to iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser recommended in the Apple Support article System requirements for iCloud.

Sign in to iCloud.com

Go to iCloud.com, then sign in using the same Apple ID you used to set up iCloud.

Note: If you have web-only access to iCloud.com, you can only use Contacts, Notes, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Settings.

After you have set up an @icloud.com email address, you can use your iCloud Mail account on your devices, as well as on a web browser with either a Mac or Windows computer.

Set up iCloud Mail on your iOS device

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud (or Settings > iCloud), then turn on Mail.

Set up iCloud Mail on your Mac

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, then select Mail.

Set up iCloud Mail on your Windows computer with Outlook

Open iCloud for Windows.

Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks.

Click Apply.

Your iCloud Mail account is listed in the folder list (also called the navigation pane) on the left side of Microsoft Outlook. To view your iCloud Mail folders in Outlook, click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iCloud email account.

Access iCloud Mail on your Windows computer without Outlook

If Microsoft Outlook is not installed, the Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks option doesn’t appear in iCloud for Windows. Use your web browser to access Mail on iCloud.com.
