Is there a firewall on the server (or between the client and server) that is blocking port 143? Or 993 if you are using ssl encryption? Anything in /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny that might prevent connections?

Make sure the Outlook user is subscribing to all folders.

There's a known bug with the way Outlook handles IMAP ...
There's a workaround that is normally commented out in the conf files.
