Well you should look at the gruop nnimap+umap:INBOX if you want to see
the INBOX group ;-)
Also, I think if you really want to look at the nnimap+umap:outlook
group, then you should provide a list pattern that also shows you this
group.
Finally, some IMAP servers don't allow you to create any group,
the group name has to start with INBOX. or INBOX/ or somesuch. Not
sure whether this is the case here.

This is the point of nnimap -- it is for managing and using nnimap
groups, not nnmail groups.

It is not possible with nnimap, but you can use mail-sources to get
what you want:
(setq mail-sources '((imap :server "your.host" ...)))

Huh. I think there is a setting to prevent mail-sources from deleting
articles from the server. That's what you want, I think.

Right. Only my Exchange server has a pretty tight limit on the size
of the mailboxes, so I (think I) would like to archive things in my
Unix mailboxes.
But I see your point.

Ahhh... didn't know about mail-sources.
My Gnus *info* pages are all screwed up. The build/install of Gnus
never seems to be able to generate them properly, so looking up docs
is kind of hit and miss. It's much easier using *info* than Google. ;-)
Thanks for the help.

Here's a snippet of my build (./configure && make)
It's failed for me for the last 3 versions.
Note: I trimmed most of the .elc compilations, and only
show the beginning of the problems with the texi files.
