Gmail is weird in IMAP period, it doesn't matter which client you use.

Each gmail label = an imap folder which should account for your 27 folders.

I previously had pop settings, very easy to operate in outlook just your
standard folders piece of cake .Last week I got a smart ph. that needed
IMAP settings to operate. Contacted my ISP server (Clearwire) and changed
setting in outlook to IMap. Things then became very unpredictable & weird,
deletions very unpreditable, fatal error messages, opening folders very
slow. Its like I have a virus in that program & the rest of the comp.programs
are perfect. I went from 6 standard pop folders to 33 Imap Folders (2 of
those I personally created) & 27 on my phone. ISP tells me that because it is
g-mail it really does not wk with outlook and I should look at an other
e-mail program, ( I want to keep my outlook!) or go back to pop which will
just go to my phone but then I could not receieve on outlook, cell provider
seems to think not, I have gone round & round with these 2 the past week &
still can't get a straight answer. ISP also told me that 2007 ( which I am
not opposed to getting) appers to be more stable with g-mail. ISP has removed
re entered & checked new IMAP setting nuerous times Can you help? I am not
the brightest bulb in the pack but follow instructions to the T keep the
technical lingo to a minimal as to understand. If I did not explain myself
correctly or need more info please state as I desperately need your advice
