Hi, I'm John!

To help narrow down the issue:

1. Are you using the classic Outlook desktop app or the new Outlook for Windows?
2. What exact error message do you see when you try to add the iCloud account?

If you're using Outlook Classic:

• If you are adding an iCloud email to Outlook, Apple usually requires you to create an App-specific password from your Apple ID security settings. The normal Apple ID password often will not work in Outlook.
• Once that password is generated, you can try adding the account again in Outlook using the iCloud email address: "Add or manage an iCloud email account in Outlook" https://support.microsoft.com/office/add-or-manage-an-icloud-email-account-in-outlook-4aed8b3d-3c68-4743-8973-f6bd1c56e040#picktab=newer_versions

If you're using Outlook New app please see steps in: https://support.microsoft.com/office/add-or-manage-an-icloud-email-account-in-outlook-4aed8b3d-3c68-4743-8973-f6bd1c56e040
