I personally like outlook email. I've had a gmail account for the past 10-15 years, but I don't like the way they save all emails in a separate hidden ALL folder forever even if you delete from the inbox. I recently added an outlook email, and like the way the backend systems handle email.
You can still use your favorite front end to access any of standard email providers.

Gmail doesn't come with a hidden "all" folder. It comes with an "all" folder that isn't hidden, but you can create a hidden one if you want.
The all folder will keep all your spam and trash e-mails until you empty your spam and trash mailbox. That's all you have to do, to empty that out. It takes seconds. If you're on a computer, mouse over the "trash" category, and the trash-bin icon will appear. Click it, and hit "yes" when it asks if you're sure you want to empty the trash bin. Within moments, it'll be empty. For spam, I -believe- it sends all those to trash, at which point you still have to empty the trash bin.
