Out of morbid curiosity... how good is Outlook 2007 at IMAP?
Better than 2003. In 2007 you can even store your sent mail in an IMAP box instead on a local folder.
The new PST file formt has still a size limit (20 gigs).
But you have to take in account that Outlook is mainly a client of Exchange that incidentally does POP3 and IMAP.
They have made major changes to the *.pst format, including size limit. You could start here for some basic information.

Of course this only applies to Microsoft Office 2010, a BETA of which is available at:

If you are using a version <2007 then upgrading should be seriously considered. The "ODF" format in the 2010 version is supposedly more compliant than that used in OpenOffice.
