I move them from the inbox to a local un-synced folder.

I'd like to replicate the gmail functionality of messages staying on the server 
even when you move them out of the inbox with an IMAP client. I'm not sure of 
the precise flags that are being applied/used/whatever in this case.

Anyway, I have figured out a work-around. On the Outlook web interface, I set 
up a rule that copies all incoming messages to Archive/AllMail. Then when my 
local IMAP client (via DavMail) moves them, and they are deleted from the 
Outlook inbox, the copy remains in AllMail. It seems to work so far.

Thanks,

  -k.
