New IMAP Account in Outlook 2007

[MattC]

I had set up a Yahoo email account, it was the only mail account in my
Outlook. But decided to switch to GMail. So, I deleted the Yahoo account
from the accounts list. Having no other mail accounts, I added GMail to the
accounts list, using the IMAP interface, and it is now my only mail account.
However, the GMail account does not use the inbox under the Personal Folders.
Instead, a whole new set of email folders was created after the Personal
Folders section. Is there a way to get the GMail IMAP to use the primary
folders that already existed under Personal Folders, and eliminate this new,
secondary, folder tree that's been created?

Not possible. The whole idea of an IMAP account is that the local folders
mirror the folders on the mail server.
