Outlook is not the best IMAP client in the world... it might be one of the
worst. You should use the client that meets your needs the best.

Nothing weird - its how IMAP works. It's a server-based account so you
need
a separate set of folders for the messages. Deleted items are marked for
purging. Labels are a gmail product - they are converted to folders in
outlook and you should have a folder for each label.

I created the labels in Gmail but they didn't come across as folders in
Outlook.

Don't know what I was doing wrong. When i get time I'll have another play
with
it. I'm also experimenting with an email client called "Thunderbird". It
seems
to do it a bit better. And as it appears to be very similar to the old
Eudora
product which I used to use before going to Outlook it may end up being
the way,
again.

Or at least my wife will.

We'll see...

Thanks for your input folks. It's appreciated.
