There's a special configuration about "subscribing to folders". This is
confusing indeed.

You don't need to. I do something alike, but with two evolution boxes.

Hum... so you need to split your mail BEFORE it is read from your mail
clients. I never did this, but procmail may be what you want.

This happens to evolution also, looks like a bad default configuration
of imap on fedora. In evolution, you can set "ignore namespace from
server" on imap receiving options, and type your own namespace (which I
use /home/user/mail). There must be something similar on outlook.
