As someone with an iCloud account, every time I try to use Outlook it randomly deletes emails from my iCloud account. I’ve posted this multiple times on Microsoft support site with others confirming and since it’s been more than year with no acknowledgment or fix I am convinced it’s a feature not a bug. YMMV.

Just stop using it with outlook then?

I wasn't asking for your advise but was merely pointing out experience that others may not want to repeat. I don't use Outlook at all.

You sure you did not use POP3?

Yes I went over all settings multiple times with Outlook support. It's a bug/feature they are not interested in fixing.
