iCloud Mail comes with every Apple ID and is configured automatically on Apple devices. Connecting a non-Apple client — Thunderbird, Outlook, an Android mail app — requires an app-specific password generated from your Apple ID account page, and the username is generally the portion of your address before the @ sign rather than the full address.

iCloud Mail questions
Can I use iCloud Mail on Windows or Android?
Yes, over IMAP and SMTP, using an app-specific password generated from your Apple ID account page.
What username should I enter?
Usually just the part before @icloud.com rather than the full email address. If authentication fails, try the full address instead.
