Q: iCloud and Outlook 2016 for Windows

There are several threads in the Apple forums and in the Microsoft Answers Community stating that iCloud is not working with Outlook 2016 for Windows. The Add-In cannot be enabled and iCloud control panel asks me to repair iCloud.

 

Is iCloud compatible with Office 2016 for Windows?

 

Thanks in advance

iPhone 5, Windows 10

A:

From apple's iCloud page:

iCloud for Windows currently supports Outlook 2007 through Outlook 2013. If you use Outlook 2016, you can access iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendars on iCloud.com.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to delete Outlook 2016, then download Outlook 2013, activate it with an Outlook 2016 license key and have that work with iCloud until Apple fixes this?

    If you have an Office 365 subscription, you can install Outlook 2013 "O2013" (highly recommended per my experience) via a somewhat hidden link on the accounts page.  One caution, if you are storing info on your computer using a PST file, they are not backward compatible, so the data for Outlook 2013 would have to come from an older backup file from O2013 - thereby losing any changes or updated made after that backup date.  Note that Apple states support for O2016 but it does not work.  Stick with O2013 if possible, O2016 is still immature software.
