Sep 11, 2020 The Mail application that ships with macOS and OS X is solid, feature-rich and spam-eliminating software that is also an easy-to-use email client. Optimized to work on the Mac, the Mail app is trouble free and full featured. It can handle all your email accounts in one place.

Summary

This article contains information about the compatibility of Microsoft Outlook for Mac and Apple iCloud.

  1. It's a shortcoming only for the Outlook email client. I keep trying to use Outlook as a mobile email client for my Microsoft email accounts and I always end up uninstalling it and reverting to the Apple app or some other third-part email app. It's a shame, really. Google's Mail app works pretty well for Gmail. Microsoft's Outlook app doesn't.
  2. Included in the Mac operating system. Supports smart folders and robust filters.

Outlook for Mac does not support Apple iCloud calendar (CalDAV) and contact (CardDAV) synchronization.

Outlook for Mac does support iCloud Mail. For steps on how to configure your iCloud email account in Outlook for Mac, go to the More Information section of this article.
