Recently i have been getting a message about outlook mail not being able to connect to iCloud and a task box directing me to my iCloud preferences to verify my account.

You can always restore it to brand new.
You need a computer with iTunes and the charghing usb cable.
Before restoring make sure that the Find my iPhone app is off, otherwise after restoring it will give you the very same wrong email.
Once that is off, connect the ipad to the computer and click restore.
Once restore is complete, at very end you will be prompt with 2 questions:
1. Set iPad as brand new
2. Restore from (your name) back up.

At this iem you can choose either one, because Find my iPhone is off. And now you can change the email address.
It is your best option since it is way too difficult without restoring it.

To restore the Envelope icon in the notification area follow these steps:

1. Start Outlook.
2. Click the Tools menu, click Options.
3. On the Preferences Tab, click E-mail Options.
4. Click Advanced E-mail Options.
5. Click to select the Show an envelope icon in thenotification area check box.

1. On the File tab, click Options.
2. Select Mail in the left navigation pane.
3. In the Message arrival section, click to select the Show an envelope icon in the taskbar check box.
