I am curious.  I also have to put up with using an outlook server
(outlook.office365.com).  In my case, I do use it as IMAP in its true
sense; I am not sure what you mean by using it as POP.

I also have the outlook server distribute some emails to different
folders, especially mailing lists.  I used to use gnus's splitting
functionality, which I loved especially because the regexp patterns are
much more powerful and easy to use than Outlook's interface.  I stopped
using splitting in gnus when I started using a phone to access my email
as well (as you) and only wanted some emails remaining in my INBOX for
the phone to access.

Does my use case also suffer from the same need to open the connection
more than once?  I ask because fetching email from outlook is always
very slow.  Would the same suggestion you are making improve full IMAP
use?

Thanks,
eric
