default_msg_encoding:

*should* be the same as the encoding used by your outlook clients (the ones
sending the messages with 8bit headers)

encoding:

must be the same as the encoding of the database.

In your case it's the first that's biting you (default_msg_encoding).

Most of your outlook clients that are sending 8bit headers in messages are
probably using windows-1250 or latin-1 charsets, *not* utf8.
