Now, there is every chance that you have your Outlook.com account connected to one such tool and that you are using POP to download Outlook messages to that client. In such a case you will notice that if you delete a message (from that tool) it only gets removed to be sent to a special POP folder (on the server)....
For example, this allows you to use your iPhone to start writing a message and then continue right where you left off on your Mac with one click.

When Hardware Meets Software Google has always had ambitions related to software, right from developing a super-fast search engine, to navigation tools to an online streaming service.

The Nexus line was initiated by Google only to show everyone what a pure Android experience on a phone would be like....

Even with a measly 2 GB of free storage, Dropbox continues to be a favorite of developers and users alike.
