iCloud Sync with Outlook 365: Does NOT Work!

Apple iCloud does not sync with Microsoft Outlook 365 (version 1908; on a Windows 10, version 1903; HP Pavilion notebook).

Message appears with "Too Many Events and Tasks: iCloud accepts a maximum of 14 events and tasks". Have checked iCloud sync parameters and way below.

Have uninstalled/re-installed iCloud numerous times - with same outcome.

Any suggestions?

iCloud Outlook Add-In Not Working The iCloud Outlook Add-In that normally syncs contacts and calendars to the Microsoft Outlook app isn't working and isn't showing up in the Outlook desktop app. I'm running the latest stable versions of Windows 11, Office/Microsoft 365 and the iCloud Desktop app. This is despite the add-in being turned on in the Outlook app and the sync option being turned on in the iCloud desktop app. I have attached some screenshots to this post to better explain this. Is anyone else having this issue with iCloud for Windows app? If it is a bug where can I make a report about it? Thank for the help! Aaron

[Solution Found] "Sync mail" checkbox not showing up when setting up iCloud for outlook Hi apple'rs, For a long time on my tablet, the "sync mail" checkbox wasn't showing up on the iCloud for windows setup, which a few others expressed on this recent unsolved post: icloud for windows MAIL option not showing - Apple Community (by user petercoota). This was fixed for me by: Completely uninstalling any previous versions of iCloud Avoiding the Microsoft store link, and downloading the windows 7/8 iCloud installer direct from apple instead: Download iCloud for Windows – Apple Support (AU) Even though my laptop is windows 10, this version of iCloud includes the 'sync email' checkbox on setup, and successfully synced my iCloud inbox to outlook even though it's designed for windows 7/8 systems - I hope this helps anyone with similar issues.

Icloud not syncing with outlook - again!!! Ok I know we've been round this many times before but iCloud sync with Outlook is broke again. Steps taken: 1) Verify outlook updated to the latest version of 365 2) Uninstall iCloud and iCloud Outlook 3) Verify iCloud outlook file and AccountInfo.ini are permanently deleted 3) Reboot 4) Reinstall iCloud from the Microsoft Store 5) Execute the initial sync using the unchecking of Calendars, Notes, and Contacts work around for the 0x800706ba error. iCloud appears to be installed and active in the add-in list but clicking the refresh button does nothing. Comparing my desktop and laptop to my iPhone and iPad I'd say it's been broke at least 2 months! The iPhone and iPad both running iOS 13.4.1 are syncing between themselves. Open to any ideas. If none - will ditch iCloud in favor of the Microsoft Exchange solution. (Rather not spend the money!)

UPDATE: Have been able to sync Contacts between Outlook 365 and iCloud, however, Calendar and Tasks does not. Error message states "iCloud accepts a maximum of 14 events and tasks." This message is obviously wrong as the Apple limit is 50,000 (calendars, events and reminders).
