I can second this. I personally don't use Windows, or MacOS, but have
had to support it on desktops for other people. I found that from time
to time Outlook would not exit properly (hence people not seeing new
incoming email) requiring either a restart of the machine, or using the
system utils to manually kill the background processes that exit
cleanly. I do think that Outlook is not the best email client in any
given environment.

My solution was to find another email client - I don't like thunderbird,
there is Canary, but if you want the closest drop-in replacement for
Outlook on a Windows desktop there is "eM Client" ... there is a port of
Evolution (my preferred client) for Windows, but I'm not so sure about
the sources I have found for it - the MacOS ports of Evolution are
reputable, and I would recommend that.
