IMAP is a server side account - copies of messages are downloaded into
outlook and changes upload, so you can access the mailbox from anywhere.
It's sorta like Exchange, but is limited to email. IMAP accounts have their
own set of folders in Outlook, so the mail won't get mixed in with the
user's other account.
Go to Tools, Account settings and add the account - choose IMAP account type
and configure it, then go into More Settings and select the Folder tab to
set the account to save sent messages on the server. Each user will see the
same read/unread state and can see the replies in the Sent folder.
