How did you configure neomutt? I mostly have the default configuration, with some other tweaks I've forgotten about (like changing mailboxes using a function key). What am I missing out?
I will take a screenshot once I'm on my laptop (in a day or two)
please share this, I'd like to check it out

It's already shown on the screenshot, but I'll get a better one soon.
What about SSO? Sadly, none of the terminal-based email clients I tried supported this, but since you said you use this at work, maybe it supports SSO login to your work email?

It's a bit of a trek to get there, but here's how to work around SSO...
1. Go to the Microsoft/Google developer console with your work account and create an "internal app" for personal use 2. Generate a set of oauth2 creds under the app 3. Use a program like mbsync or offlineimap to sync your mail down to a maildir. Iirc mbsync was more reliable but required a shim script to convert oauth2 creds to an api token. 4. Point your email client to the mail-dir.
I had this set up when I used gmail at work, but AIUI outlook should work roughly the same.
There's a ton of blog posts out there of people setting this up, unfortunately too many variations to have "one true" guide, so sorta have to pull from several places.
How would SSO work for a terminal? What would it do?

In this case it's easier to bypass SSO with a set of oauth2 creds, but the aws and azure clis support SSO login by opening a browser to authenticate and generate a short-lived api token that gets passed back to the cli. So it's definitely possible for terminal apps to support SSO.
People are impressed when looking at it. A handful of them asked for the config. Don't think any one ever got used to it.
