Apple Account disconnected from Outlook: legitimate?

I got this message today from what appears to be an Apple email: Your Apple Account has been disconnected from Microsoft Outlook apps and services. Is this legitimate?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.7

Thank you for your response. I do not use Outlook----although I do use Microsoft 355, which is what made me suspicious. I called Apple and they suggested that they did not send this email, so I think it was spam / fraud.

Again, thanks for responding....

Are you still able to use Outlook? I'm presuming you can.

If there is anywhere in the email that asks you to login to either account, or a link sends you to a site asking for the same, it's a scam.

Also, is there a phone number you're prompted to call? If so, do a web search of the number. 99.999999% of the time, it will be a number that does not belong to either Apple or MS.

Moreover the link in the message is to a Apple KB page that doesn't exist

The links in the Bottom of the page does work.
