Category: New OutlookThis 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.
I’m starting to get many calls from folks about needing help leaving Network Solutions (NS) as an email provider. As NS only offers email through a POP or IMAP account, my Outlook clients have local calendars and contacts and need help setting up 365 accounts and migrating all the data to their new Microsoft 365 servers. I can help with these requests.
If you want to discuss your migration to move off Network Solutions, please call 612-865-4475 or email lisa@callthatgirl.biz
Just like my post last week about amazing changes coming ahead for Outlook Classic users, the Gmail crowd gets it’s own post. I have come up with a nice list of changes they will enjoy, or so I think anyway. This comes from the clients asking questions such as “Why doesn’t my Outlook work with Gmail like my Microsoft accounts?” or my favorite “Why do my calendars not sync with my phone?”
Many of my current Google Workspace connector clients have made the switch mostly due to the GWSMO not functioning properly or once they know of the new functions.
If you’re using Gmail setup as IMAP or Google Workspace connector for Outlook Classic now, you can expect these changes when you switch to New Outlook. My next article will be a list of functions that don’t work and this might be a deal breaker for some of you. Moving your email to Microsoft Exchange might in your future, especially if you want to use the Teams button to schedule meetings.
Here are 13 function changes you might enjoy!

This is a new issue I am seeing lately. Today I was helping a client set up his New Outlook email. He set up an Outlook.com first, then his other Outlook.com email. But when we tried to add his Business 365 account, it would not set up due to “no license available” error. Unfortunately I didn’t get the exact error screenshotted but it was similar to what I just stated.
He was using Microsoft 2016, which only comes with the Outlook Classic. And the product is a download, installed on the computer. So for him to add that 365 account, he would need to subscribe to 365 apparently.
He did not want to do that as he had software that would not work with 365, so we set up Outlook Classic.

I helped a client this past week and we could not get MS Access to email from New Outlook. The client really loves New Outlook so I created a solution for him that works but not through New Outlook.
I launched Outlook Classic, pinnned to his task bar. Set all defaults to New Outlook and since his email is IMAP, both versions will sync his email. Now he can still send using Outlook Classic and the email will show up in New Outlook. This is the best solution for him as Access and New Outlook might not ever talk due to some VBA requirements. I did research a bit and saw it online after I offered this.

Question that live rent free in my head 😂
Back when I was doing all my first round testing of the technical limits of New Outlook, adding in PSTs was not available. Today I helped a client and his request was “I want to use new 365 so I can search all my data for a research project” and I had no idea how this was going to go. When I remoted in, I saw 23 PST and added his license to New Outlook and off we went! I got 21 added in fine, but New Outlook was cranky after that. So for now, we are letting it rest for a day or so, he will do some testing and then we add in 16 more! I’ll update with results.
