The new version of Outlook now also supports iCloud and IMAP. That wasn’t the case when Office Insiders launched last September.

In September last year, the new version of Outlook was released. That was only for Office Insiders at the time. The rollout is now general, as can be seen from the button you can find in the top right of the app. Microsoft has also published a blog about the different possibilities. With this extension there is now also support for iCloud and IMAP.

Gradually available

The rollout is still in full swing, so not everyone has the same features yet. If you have the opportunity and opt for the new version, you can add an iCloud account. This has been the case with Gmail since early April, which was not possible before.

For both options, click File, then click Add Account. You enter your email address and then click “Connect”. You can then complete the process with your password. You may need the IMAP settings for this. You can find it in Outlook’s POP and IMAP settings. Adjusting these settings for Gmail isn’t that easy anymore, you’ll need 2FA for some of it now.
