Outlook 2016 and iCloud e-mail problem...

I upgraded from Office for Mac 2011 to Office for Mac 2016 and am encountering the following problem:


1. I have two different e-mail accounts where the first is an Exchange Server account and the second is an iCloud account. The below described problem does not occur with the Exchange server account but does occur with the iCloud account.


2. In Mail and my iCloud account: If i) I delete an e-mail from my inbox folder the e-mail appears in my deleted messages folder (i.e. as it should) and ii) I drop and drag an e-mail from my inbox folder to my deleted messages folder the e-mail appears in my deleted messages folder (i.e. as it should). So there is no problem with the Mail / iCloud account combination.



3. In Outlook 2016 and my iCloud account: If i) I delete an e-mail from my inbox folder the e-mail disappears (i.e. it does not appear in my deleted messages folder [or anywhere for that matter] as it should) and ii) I drop and drag an e-mail from my inbox folder to my deleted messages folder the e-mail appears in my deleted messages folder (i.e. as it should). So there is a problem with the Mail / iCloud account combination.

4. In Outlook 2016 and my iCloud account: The folders are configured as illustrated in the attachment.

I have done a lot of research and work on this including taking a close look at Outlook for Windows 2016...I have concluded that Outlook for Mac 2016 is buggy and Outlook for Windows 2016 is unfortunately less configurable that Outlook for Windows 2010...I have summarized my findings in a Word document located at https://www.dropbox.com/s/3e89suxobxdp8yd/20151225_outlook%20for%20mac%202016%20 and%20windows%202016_bugs%20configuration%20limitations%20and%20setup.docx?dl=0


I would be interested in feedback from others.


Thanks.
