Most of my Outlook issues aren't IMAP-specific, but sometimes Outlook:
- re-downloads entire folders repeatedly. This was 10s of GB of data
per day. Eventually we fixed this by emptying the user's Trash folder.
I have no idea why this worked.
- re-downloads shared folder messages repeatedly. This was a
particularly annoying issue where Outlook would scan a shared folder
that it *wasn't* even subscribed to, identify a particular message as
spam, and copy it to the spam folder repeatedly - every few minutes.
The user ended up with thousands of copies of the same message in their
spam folder. The folder was read-only for the user. Fortunately I
could tell the Outlook spam filter to ignore messages with the given
from address.

For Outlook users, it's probably worthwhile telling the Trash folder to
expire messages after 20 or 50 days or something to avoid the Trash
folder issue.
We have the standard Outlook OST and PST file corruption issues too.
New users are required to use Thunderbird (or anything that isn't
Outlook really) for this reason and others (GPG, multiple identities, etc.)
