My impression is that currently the Android platform is a bit ahead if it comes to integration with the Microsoft platform.

  I do not own an Android phone, but given that it is a phone the display will be different from a PC for sure. Perhaps this hepls: https://venturebeat.com/2015/10/28/microsoft-revamps-outlook-for-android-and-ios-will-integrate-sunrise-features-and-kill-the-calendar-app/

    Outlook on the Android is terrible. Even if we ignore the performance issues (and you still get a lot of these), it lacks basic functionality. For example, to switch between messages you have to get back to the folder view and click on the message - there is no next/previous button or action. People have recommended other email apps to use on Android, but I haven't given them a chance yet.
