Default Misdownload of Messages - Outlook 2007

I've finally gotten back to my Outlook. Turns out my account was hiding, but
everything's there. I think the stuff in my To Do bar is all the messages I
have starred in Gmail. Ugh!

Rules won't work on IMAP.

Hit Ctrl+6 - do you see the folders for your imap acct? Are the messages in
the folders used by the labels?

With IMAP, all messages are involved; none are fully downloaded (which is
why
one has to be online). There is no setting to change that. There are no
rules in my Outlook - I didn't even get that far.

Thanks!

Do you have Google set to download all messages or only the new ones? if
they are going to the to-do, they are flagged, usually by rules.

The other night, I installed the Office 2007 trial & I followed the
Gmail
instructions for IMAP setup directly from the website. (I was
previously using Thunderbird & Open Office 2.4)

It took a while to download all the messages (of course), but I
noticed that nothing was popping up in the inbox. I figured it was
just being slow b/c of the volume, but when it finished, there still
weren't any messages in the inbox.

Lo & behold, Outlook only downloaded 27 messages and they ALL are
showing
up
in the task pane/To Do bar as flagged items. What gives??? How do I
get
my
messages into the right place?

Also, I'm not sure if this is part of the issue, but when I tried to
install
the Office 2007 trial, but received an error at "Disk 2". It would not
install any of the Accounting software because of some sort of issue
with
a
.txt file & the SQL.
