Not sure you could sync emails already downloaded to an email client like Outlook? I would have thought you need to be using webmail?
Personally I think all this syncing and immediacy is a bit claustrophobic.
Claustrophobic? Quite the opposite, it's complete freedom
Re: syncing mails from Outllook
Again - outside of the gamut of iCloud with one exception
If you ever had an email address from Apple (@mac or @me) but owned a PC and used Outlook then yes, emails would just sync with Mail on any Apple device
This is because Apple use(d) the IMAP protocol instead of the aging POP
If you have GMail or have used IMAP with any address in Outlook then your experience should be similar except it is NOT icloud doing the syncing, but rather your web server (this has been possible for at least 13 years)
Most people don't know of the advantages of IMAP and some services (Bigpond and Hotmail for most of it's history) do not permit IMAP usage (it does require more storage and more chatter with the server)
Many people just use webmail to get similar functionality, but of course you can't manage that or send/receive easily without being live and logged in
