OT: IMAP and subfolders

[Martin Hepworth]

Diane

Outlook doesn't play very well with imap email servers (esp the last 2
versions of Outlook). It doesn't pick up the Imap namespaces very well
and esp doesn't seem to like it when all users folders are subfolders of
INBOX.

I'd look at Thunderbird as an alternative to Outleek. the calendar
support is a weaker than Outlook, but there is one.
