IMAP can't share the same inbox as exchange and pop. No way, no how. You'd
need to run rules to remove the mail from the inbox and rules don't work
well on imap. So at the very least, you need two mailbox - imap and
exchange. With Outlook 2003 and 2007, use the Favorites Folder pane at the
top of the mailbox - drop shortcuts to the inboxes there (they should be
there by default) rather than scrolling the folder list.
In Ol2007, the deliver to location is at tools, account settings, set as
default button
