It does some nice things Mac Mail doesn't do. You can flag an open
email (message) with a keyboard shortcut and it shows up on the email.
You don't have to go to the list of email messages (viewer window) and
find it in the big list or open the right menu to see if it took, or
if it was already flagged! You can have multiple colored flags, and
change the color without the mouse! The follow-up flags can easily be
set to a future time to come up as a pop-up reminder, using just the
keyboard. Different follow-up types (aside from colors) are
available.

Outlook tells you right at the top of the email if you've ever
forwarded or replied to it. I like that.

Page Up and Page Down move the highlight bar in the email list and the
cursor in actual emails. Not so in Mac Mail and almost all other Mac
stuff (Dictionary is an exception).

Outlook (like at least some other Office apps [I haven't tried them
all] and Windows itself) has keyboard shortcuts for more than 99% of
what you can do with the mouse.

There are probably others highlights. But don't get me wrong, there's
plenty of things I hate about Outlook! Instability and fixed-size
rules and alerts dialog box are at the top of my Outlook pet-peeve
list.
