Because this post is about the Outlook client. Using a different client avoids ‘features’ in the Outlook client.

Microsoft have made things super confusing by using “Outlook” to refer to both the client and the server, when they’re separate things. The client works with any email provider, and Hotmail / Outlook / Office 365 / whatever email accounts can be used with most clients.
