no, in fact i set it up because i wanted it seperate, so i would have
remembered the warning. i set up 4 different imap accounts,and each was then
set up in outlook.

Never seen that happen w/out a prompt happening first asking to import the
new accounts found in OE. Did you receive a prompt about importing new
accounts when you started Outlook?
