Using outlook mail in linux (slrpnk.net)

Due to work I need to use Microsoft outlook mail on a daily basis. What I would like to know is the privacy and security concerns of various options:

Login and use outlook on a browser for general purposes
Use a tailered third party client from flatpak such as https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/io.github.mahmoudbahaa.outlook_for_linux
Use thunderbird
Any other possibilities

Why are there so many people using Linux for work. Are you using your personal machines for work? If so why? Or do your company allow installing whatever OS you want on the work machine?

yes, company allows installing any OS. Also my previous employer was a University, who maintains their own flavor on Linux, which was then one of the official choices in addition to Windows and OSX.
