the current de facto IMAP standard:
The case-insensitive mailbox name INBOX is a special name reserved to
mean "the primary mailbox for this user on this server". The
interpretation of all other names is implementation-dependent.
>From RFC 2060 (IMAP4rev1):
The interpretation of mailbox names is implementation-dependent.
However, the case-insensitive mailbox name INBOX is a special name
reserved to mean "the primary mailbox for this user on this server".

The interpretation of mailbox names is implementation-dependent.
However, the mailbox name INBOX is a special name reserved to mean
"the primary mailbox for this user on this server".
SO, the way I read it, the special mailbox INBOX is a normal part of
IMAP4, and it isn't Outlook's fault that your mail server isn't providing
the INBOX folder that the RFC says should be there.

Find out why your IMAP server doesn't support this aspect of IMAP
correctly?
I've got lots of problems with OE5 (OE4 was much less buggy), but I
think that both of them do a good job of not screwing with the IMAP
protocol.
