What email back end are you using for Outlook? A Corporate Exchange Server?
You may be confused by what outlook.com is. It is not an email client like Microsoft, it is a web-based email service. It does have a rich web client as a front end and does support POP and IMAP so you could even use your Outlook mail client on your laptop with outlook.com.
