Decided to give outlook a try cause of good integration on Windows. Uninstalled it the second I saw an ad on my inbox. it even shows up as regular mail and you wouldn't know it is an ad unless you look closely at the small Ad sign at the corner.
We are REQUIRED to use outlook at my job, along with all the MS bullshit. I've changed my Thunderbird interface to make it look exactly like outlook, synced my calendars, and kept using it for the past year or so. They have no clue. I hate Microsoft with passion, I will spent hours of my free time to find ways to be out of their ecosystem if I need to, and I usually manage to do so.
Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The operation has failed.
As the de-facto IT admin in a small business, this message haunts my dreams and I hate that I know it by heart.
Time to make a new mail profile and configure all the accounts again. Its not like it's the seventh time on this computer. It's not like I've reinstalled Outlook three times already as per Microsoft's "accepted solution".
There's a reason I don't use Microsoft software on my hardware.

owa is so much better than outlook for me, at least for my work email. There's actual dark mode, the servers seem to do all the heavy lifting so it never seems slow, the attachment preview is better and i can download a message as .eml instead of proprietary .msg format. Probably once a day I have to hit F5 because it starts acting weird. You can also make it a PWA. Seriously if you have to use corporate email give OWA a shot.
I use Luke Smith's script https://muttwizard.com/ to set up neomutt usually. Or Thunderbird.
I have tried to get mutt working many times on my own and at this point I honestly dont think that I am smart enough.
Windows used to have an email client that was just called Windows Mail. It wasn't Outlook and it was actually quite a nice little email client as far as MS software goes. They announced that it would be discontinued though for the sake of getting everyone into outlook. I started using thunderbird instead.
