Outlook (I assume you're referring to the mobile app, not the desktop client) puts all of your emails on MS's servers, so that's a no go for lots of people.
Last I checked, the gmail app only worked with gmail accounts.

The Gmail app actually allows 3rd-party IMAP connections.

Do you mean gmail's web interface? That works by downloading your emails from your 3rd-party IMAP connections into Gmail's server.

No, he means the 'Gmail' app (on Android phones at least, not sure about iPhones) allows third part servers. They rolled the Mail client into it.
