Unless they changed something in 2013 you can. I just changed my font color to white and send a message from outlook to my gmail account. The text is invisible (white on white) in my sent folder. Gmail respects the formatting when viewing the message (not in the inbox summary, but that's because no message formatting is looked at there).
If you're complaining that you no don't have an explicit hidden button anymore, I'm appalled that there ever was one in the first place. It's the sort of idiotic thing that could only have been a rogue feature that slipped through QA because it would give normal users the delusion of having secured their communications. If you actually want to do that, man up and deal with the painpleasure of sending encrypted mail. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Simple, easier to set up than outlook and a good price.

I was forced into Thunderbird for 2 years. The day I got a client license for Outlook, Thunderbird was removed... it works well, but Outlook imo is a bit superior.

I'm still using Eudora. I like it because it is easily transferable. I like to keep my email on my own machine. I like the fact that the messages are easily readable and repaired because they are in text. And finally because nothing runs automatically unless I say so - another protection level against malware in the email.

I use WP8 default email client in my phone and Outlook on laptop.

I used Thunderbird, Windows Mail.
Most of people vote for Outlook not because they like service but because they got their mail at center location, Yes really. outlook has the great features of configure multiple account in a single interface so when we open it we got our mail at once, it has some other nice features like calendar, reminder, countdown, notebook etc.

To be fair, most of those same features are but addons in Thunderbird. E.g. calendar is the Lightning addon. ExQuila to have Thunderbird work with an Exchange server - or go with Zimbra to get even more than Exchange can give.
For me the only reason I use Outlook is because the office forces me to. If it wasn't for that I'd have more hair.

The same for me. Work uses Lookout, I mean Outlook, and ITT uses it through Office 365.
At home I use Thunderbird. It has everything I use in Outlook, including calendering with Lightning added, and has far superior filtering and mail account configurations.

I'd like to switch to Outlook.com (mainly because Google already knows far too much about me), but switching to another email address is going to confuse just about everyone I know.
Even now people use the address I used years ago 
And I'd like to keep all my stuff, emails, contacts, etc. (actually that's just it, emails and contacts), but I found out Outlook doesn't let you import or even set photo's for your contacts...
I took all photo's of all my contacts personally, because I like talking to them in person and then taking their picture personally. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't know this word, 'personal', and only shows photo's from social networks (which I don't have, save for CodeProject).
It's an OO world.

I also use Open-Xchange[^] webmail. This is the webmail client provided by 1and1 who hosts all my domains.

It's a bit of a pain, but...
Outlook is the primary: it read, organises, and stores all emails. And it's backed up daily. It is the only application allowed to remove emails from the server, which it does when it has downloaded them.
Google Email for Android reads only - and gets about 50% of them while Outlook is running since they check at different times. That's the PITA bit. If I don't turn Outlook off, I can miss emails until the next day.
But...the android software means I get emails in Tescos. When passing WiFi hotspots. Anywhere, pretty much since my tablet is with me at all times. And that's worth a fair amount of irritation!
So why not use the android email as the master and forget Outlook? Because it enforces my rules, filters my spam, and organises everything. And that's pretty important.

Have been using this for years and it does what I need it to do.

Because I run my own mail server, I use Thunderbird as my desktop client and Squirrel as my web client for all other platforms.

I must be an old-timer, I still use Thunderbird more than anything else; not work related.
I'm not a big fan of web mail UIs, I prefer a client application be Thunderbird or even Outlook.
