Why does Thunderbird have so bad Microsoft mail integration?

Hello

I have some Microsoft email accounts. I notice that Thunderbird cannot save sent emails, it does not reflect the mails in the folders compared to outlook.comm and generally has very poor handling of such accounts.

Why this cannot be fixed?

Thanks

No problems here with IMAP accounts, but since outlook.com/hotmail etc. automatically copy sent messages to Sent, you must uncheck 'Place a copy in' in the Copies & Folders section of Tools/Account Settings, and subscribe to the IMAP Sent folder.
