Universal iOS Outlook w/iCloud Email

[OddMacFan]

I have an iCloud email address and recently decided to test drive Outlook for iOS. I was able to connect my iCloud account without a problem, and can send and receive mail, but it appears that the only folder which syncs with the iCloud IMAP server is Inbox. For example, newly sent mail appears in Outlook on the device where it was sent, but not on any other iCloud-connected device (such as Apple Mail on macOS or iOS).

Does anyone know if this is expected behavior?

Thanks!

I know the fix for this when adding an iCloud account to Outlook for Windows is to uncheck "show only subscribed folders" for the iCloud IMAP settings, but I'm not sure what the iOS fix is. Perhaps there's something similar.

I don’t see many options to configure server settings and behavior in the iOS client. Hard to believe that folks are okay not having sent mail synced back to the server; seems that just using Apple’s iCloud SMTP instead of Microsoft’s servers to send mail would solve this issue.
