This error is not the actual problem on why your iCloud for Windows software won’t setup Outlook. The real problem is that your Outlook profile doesn’t have a PST or a Microsoft Exchange account setup in the profile.
Here is how you can fix this and get your iCloud setup in Outlook again!
Outlook has “profiles” that hold all of your email accounts. Some of you will have only IMAP emails, some of you will have Microsoft Exchange and other IMAP email accounts, some of you might have POP with PST (you should not have an issue with setting up iCloud for Outlook). The iCloud app needs a PST file for some reason to setup correctly.
If this sounds confusing for you and you don’t want to do it, contact me and I can help. You always will want to backup all of your data before doing this just in case something bad happens. It shouldn’t but for those of you with (This computer only) for your calendar and contacts, you might have issues and I would backup those before doing anything else.
iCloud setup requires a PST to finish the setup. Here are some instructions:
Again, if these steps are confusing or too complicated or you just want me to help, this can be a 1-hour request if I do all the backups and onboarding. I can’t guarantee it will be an hour but it could take that or more. Contact me below for help! I have 15 years experience helping clients with iCloud/Outlook and iPhone.

New Outlook changed many things and one is how to find the total number of emails in a folder. The classic used to have a view at the bottom left corner of Outlook. Now you have to put your mouse in the three dots on the right side of the folder in the folder pane. A quick view of the total will pop up for you to see.
Or you can right click on the folder and then you can see more options, the total is at the top.

When you launch the New Outlook for the first time, it will ask you to type in your email address. If you are launching from the classic Outlook, it might remember some of your accounts you had setup before you switched over. If they don’t automatically set up, then you have to log in to each one again and this will require the passwords and 2-step authentication/Multi-factor Authentication. If you don’t have security set up, then be prepared to do this at that time.
Few things to keep in mind, if you have many email accounts such as comcast.net, iCloud and Gmail, you might have some issues if you have used these email addresses with other types of accounts.
Example: If your iCloud account has a Gmail address, iCloud will not set up in the New Outlook. If your iCloud is setup with a comcast.net email, it will not set up the iCloud. I can count numerous ways you might have issues but if you do, I can help figure it out for you. Use the form below to schedule time.
Once you have one account added, then you can add new accounts by going to the bottom of the folder pane and click on “Add account” and the same pop up box will show up.
You can also add accounts by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the New Outlook. In the left hand side of that box, you will see “accounts” and under “email accounts” you can see all of the accounts in your New Outlook and also add more there. Or remove accounts.
