To migrate iCloud Email to Outlook manually, you can follow these steps:
1. Enable IMAP Access: First, ensure IMAP access is enabled in your iCloud settings.
2. Add iCloud Account to Outlook: Open Outlook, go to File > Add Account, and enter your iCloud email address and password.
3. Configure IMAP Settings: Set up your iCloud account using IMAP settings: incoming server (imap.mail.me.com), outgoing server (smtp.mail.me.com), and port numbers.
