Good morning
this is probably not want you are looking for
Couple of issues
even if you get around the outlook locking issue (unless you are leaving
on the server but would be flagged that way anyways) pop3 is first come
first serve.
Outlook when it comes to imap & pop3 its been my experience that
microsoft just does not support these properly anymore as in favor for
the exchange protocols.
Outlook 2010 was the last version that kinda worked.
Also Outlook does not support idle for imap making outlook for outlook
and other clients (like thunderbird) more practical.
for example in the case of imap outlook on large email boxes will just
cycle forever on a folder sync.
Completly useless.
Just some experience to share with you.
Happy Wednesday !!!
Thanks - paul

Hello,
I recognize this may be somewhat off-topic, but my search-fu has failed to
provide useful results, so I ask for pointers to further information.
Today, while examining Dovecot logs, I found a case where the Outlook mail
client (probably 2016 or later) on a user's computer opened two simultaneous,
or at least overlapping, POP3 connections to Dovecot. This did not go well,
naturally.
Warning: Transaction log file .../mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log was locked
for 156 seconds (rotating while syncing)
If anyone else has found useful information about this peculiar behavior for an
email client, I would be pleased to receive a pointer in that direction.
Thank you.
Ken
