In Outlook application, you should see the presence on all the email sent or received, when you view an email you will see a small circle with the presence of them.
Even when you draft a new email from Outlook and type their names you will see their presence:
If the circle is blank, it most likely means that the person has not logged into Microsoft teams recently.
You should see their statuses as you see them in Microsoft teams, they can show presence like Available, Away, Do not disturb, Busy, etc.
