Understood.

Just for self.  Outlook clients that connect to Exchange
is a per-user/system configuration and is not globally set.
I just happened to set it up in this way and stuck with
it ever since.  Note however, that you can create exchange
rules so that new email arrivals can be automatically
moved from Inbox into your pre-defined boxes. It just
makes it easier for me to categorize/organize inbound email
messages.

No, it is not due to ms ex 6 exclusively - it was setup
arbitrarily as explained earlier.

No problem!

Uh, I may have mis-read your statement. As for why the namespace
created used in IMAP server directory, it seems to me that
a namespace box was created and excluded all global boxes,
that, I am not sure why.  I just noted the behavior.  Maybe this
was intended by Thunderbird and not a function of ms ex 6.
Again, I am not sure why.  It just is.
