How to setup iCloud in New Outlook

How to setup iCloud in New Outlook

If you want to setup iCloud with New Outlook, it’s pretty easy!

You need to launch New Outlook, then log in with your iCloud account. Or if you have it setup, go to the settings in the upper right corner and find “Accounts” and add your iCloud there. Keep in mind if you have another email account using the same email as your iCloud account, you might have issues. New Outlook will give an error if your iCloud email has a Microsoft account, which is very common for home users. They tend to use one email account for just about everything. Example….some folks have used their AOL account since the 90’s. They setup a personal Microsoft account with the AOL email and when they got their first iPhone, they setup their iCloud with AOL. This can be very confusing in the new cloud infrastructure.

So for New Outlook, when you launch it and log in, if you get an error, then you most likely have a Microsoft account (or Gmail possibly) and need to rename those accounts so you can use iCloud with New Outlook. I will say that I love what New Outlook offers in terms of setting up accounts to synch without a 3rd party app or software, Gmail, iCloud, and Yahoo (at least it did) synch calendar and contacts.

How do I import my old calendar in Outlook into New Outlook

How do I import my old calendar in Outlook into New Outlook

If you just changed from classic Outlook to New Outlook, you might find your calendar is gone. This can happen for a few reasons. First, you most likely have IMAP setup for your email and in classic Outlook, it came with a (This Computer Only) calendar. That is a local to the computer only calendar, it is not in the cloud and doesn’t sync with the cloud. You will need to make some decisions here. If you want to do all of this yourself, then I have a YouTube video coming out soon that should be helpful. Since everyone has different calendar setups, it’s hard for me to do a video for everyone.

Decision #1 is find a calendar synching program that works with New Outlook. Microsoft Exchange, Outlook.com, Google Workspace/Gmail and iCloud are favorites.

Free? Outlook.com, Gmail and iCloud all will sync as of Nov 7, 2024

Microsoft Exchange and Google Workspace have a monthly subscription

Decision #2 is not use a calendar to sync with New Outlook. There are no IMAP email accounts that offer calendar (Outside of Gmail) that I know of. This also goes for contacts.

How to change the Zoom level in New Outlook

How to change the Zoom level in New Outlook

Unfortunately, the Zoom levels have changed in the New Outlook. You can go to “Settings” and then click on “Mail” and “Layout” and change the “text size and spacing” to small, medium or large. The New Outlook is more of a cloud application and there is very little you can do to change the size in the app. If you need the size larger than the “large” option, you might want to consider moving to the OWA and then you can change your browser window to be a much more larger size.
