I wonder if this related to the Edge feature of "freezing" tabs, since New Outlook is clearly an Electron-like contraption, but I think they're supposed to use the Edge Web Views instead of shipping their own electron runtime.

At least it doesn't crash. At one point, it used to just die on me. They've also fixed the window decorations and ramdom icons in the left toolbar, which used to become weird on mouse over.

There's also something else odd going on with the app. When I start it from the start menu, there's a very long lag between my pushing enter and the start menu going away. This happens every time I start outlook after a fresh boot, but doesn't happen with other shitty apps, like New Teams. For those, it disappears right away, even though the app doesn't start up instantly. It doesn't matter the order in which I start them, nor if I only start Outlook after the machine has been running for a while.
