I have recently changed my Gmail account from POP to IMAP (in OFFICE 07),
however the inbox associated with my POP account remains the default inbox.
However, using IMAP, my mail now appears in a tree of folders below the tree
which contains my original inbox etc (ie all the folders that make up the

IMAP account as the default inbox. I have no other email account configured
in outlook. Any help will be most appreciated.
