The contents of the Outlook requirements article is mostly covered in Requirements for running Office Add-ins. This PR moves other relevant content to the general article and retires the Outlook article.

Information about account types is also covered in #5245.

  • [nitpick] Consider adding a clear subheading (e.g., "## Outlook add-in requirements") above this section to improve navigation and readability in the consolidated article.
To test and run an Outlook add-in, the user's Outlook email account must reside on Exchange 2016 or later, which is available through Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, or through an on-premises installation. The user or administrator installs manifest files for Outlook add-ins on that server. For Exchange on-premises installations, the following requirements apply.
