Just for self. Outlook clients that connect to Exchange is a per-user/system configuration and is not globally set. I just happened to set it up in this way and stuck with it ever since. Note however, that you can create exchange "rules" so that new email arrivals can be automatically moved from "Inbox" into your pre-defined "boxes". It just makes it easier for me to categorize/organize inbound email messages.

No, it is not due to "ms ex 6" exclusively - it was setup arbitrarily as explained earlier.
