iCloud set up error in Outlook

I've been successfully using iCloud in Outlook 2010 for a couple years.  Yesterday had an sync issue (conflict error which I had never seen before) and I was unable to add any calendar items to my iCals in outlook. I uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud.  This usually has worked in the past.  I ensured the add-in is active, and tried to re-install iCoud (from new download) and now I get an error.  "Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding".  I called Apple and have done everything they would have suggested.  I am on-line with good internet connection.  I just cannot establish an iCloud connection.  Any suggestions?

    Same. This is really annoying because I'm about to switch to Apple and want to transfer everything over to iCloud when my phone arrives. I'd very much like to avoid manually adding everything.

    >> - deinstalled en reinstalled the iCloud-app and the iCloud program (5.1).

    Is there a reason you are using the older version of icloud?  (Current version is 7.13)

    Is everyone who is having problems also using this version?

    Windows 10 with iCloud current version 7.13 - Same issue.

    Login to iCloud OK. iCloud Drive works fine, but when try to sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks with Outlook - it comes back with this error saying "Outlook Setup Error - Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding".

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    There is. In another forum I came across a message from a Microsoft MVP who said version 5.1 always works. It didn’t. Ofcourse I also tried the latest version.

    It may still work - I know 6.1 works (or did in August when I last used a VM with that installed. I have not tried it since). But there is always the possibly that apple did something to block the older version.  It's looking more like Office or Windows did something - I'm trying to find out what. (Why do they drop updates late in the week when my support contact is offline. :( )
