What you see is how an IMAP account works. The reason for this is that your
"real" inbox is on the IMAP server; what you see in Outlook is a mirror
image of this. What you can do is create a rule to copy or move email from
the IMAP Inbox to your local Inbox folder.

I've set up outlook to receive an IMAP inbox. How do I set this to be my
main
inbox? Currently the IMAP inbox is in a subfolder under the IMAP server
name.
Thanks.
