If you mean its "auto account setup" feature, not its horrid autodiscover protocol, then yes but with caveats: if there are multiple possible configurations (e.g. pop/imap, tls/clear, smtp/submission) then I don't trust Outlook's preferences to be the right ones to document. The choice of hostnames and ports to probe is more likely to be reasonable. I tried to find some documentation on Microsoft's site describing what probes Outlook performs, but annoyingly I failed.
