Well,
I've been doing some research, and it seems that msoutlook 2016 and 2019 doesn't quite have imap idle support. The odd part, is that when i had DBMail, it was IDLE'ing (i swear), Would dbmail send something different that make it work? It was an old version of dbmail, 2.3.7 i believe, from about 2012 or so.
And no, it wasn't the outlook options "send/receive", i had and have that disabled,
Don't have explanation, thunderbird IDLE's perfectly

Yes,
Yes, it works with other IMAP servers, why should not work with dovecot? It was working with DBMail, and it's working with an account from my Telco
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN]
Escape character is '^]'. that used cirus-imap.
Have you verified (with rawlogs or tcpdump) that outlook even attempts IDLE? Is your dovecot advertising IDLE support in CAPABILITY?
