The thing is that the free service is not a true IMAP service, it acts and behaves as it is. I am also going by what others have told me here as well, but what I can tell you is that with another IMAP service that I am using with exchange, and one with my hosting provider they don't experience any troubles in Outlook. With the gmail app as an IMAP, I am constantly being synced more than any other IMAP service, and get constant notifications that the host has closed the connection.
Now this could be an Outlook specific problem with GMAIL and IMAP, but as I stated I don't get these issues with my other exchange services.
