There are good reasons to use outlook, mainly calendar, tasks, notes, integration with other products, available add-ins

the main reason not to use outlook is performance. It is slow, especially so when working with IMAP although the performance with exchange isn't blistering

The particular issue you describe could also be down to other devices that are accessing the account. In particular I have seen old messages resurrected when accounts are also used on phones so not sure that the desktop client is always the one to blame

I have seen email servers that attempt to make imap behave more like exchange (older versions of FTGate for one) and experience suggests that it is worth turning these "enhancements" off to see if they improve the situation
