Where did you hear that?

AIUI, Emailer is one of the Claris products that has gone back to
Apple[1].

I haven't used Outlook, but IMO Emailer is the best mailer around, out
of the dozens I've used over the years[2]

For instance, my copy lives on a zip drive and is happy copeing with
umpteen different accounts - dial up & network connections - the
AppleScript support in >2.0 is pretty good too[3] and the Mail Actions
are very usefull.
