That's not how Outlook works. Outlook doesn't care one hoot about the
_address_ on the message. All it cares about is the _account_. If you
receive a message through a particular account regardless of the address used
to reach that account, Outlook will reply using that account and,
consequently, the mail address associated with that account will be the sender
address. You will need to manually choose the account with the address you
want the sender to see if it's other than the address associated with the
account that received the message.

That's what I'd do. I'd disable receiving. Most ISPs don't care what the
sending address is provided you authenticate to the server properly. Those
that do usually provide a way to associate multiple addresses with a mailbox
such as allowed by Windows Live or Yahoo.

You can certainly use a rule. I don't believe you can use Outlook 2007's
ability to specify separate folders for accounts to have a POP account use the
IMAP folders.

IMAP accounts don't use Deleted Items (prior to Outlok 2010).

You may notice that with gmail you'll have a "[gmail]" root at the same level
an Inbox and under that root you'll find "All Mail", "Drafts", "Sent Mail",
etc. You can change that so all your gmail folders are at the same level as
Inbox by setting up the account to specify "[gmail]" as the root on the
Advanced tab of the account properties.
