Microsoft Outlook 2010 won't link my iCloud @me.com email account

    Question

  • Hey,

    So, for about the last four hours I've been trying to get this thing to work!
    I recently got a new iPhone 4s, which has iCloud, and I wanted to use iCloud to back up and store my contacts and calendar. Currently my contacts and calendar is in Outlook and I just sync it through iTunes, but I wanted to see if there was anything different or better about iCloud.

    So, here's the issue:
    Googling it and looking at different forums etc, it's apparantly easy! You set up an @me.com account, and link it to Outlook as you would any other way! If it doesn't work, then you choose the more advanced settings. Apparantly this is supposed to work... BUT IT DOESNT'T!

    I don't know if I'm doing something wrong... I don't think I am...  I've tried it a bazillion times!

    I've got it to the point where it will (finally) log on to the incoming mail server, but it won't send a test e-mail.
    It comes up with the error:
    "Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server."

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!
