It appears to me as if it is possible to use both IMAP and POP simultaneously in either Outlook or Outlook Express.

When pulling using POP from FastMail it only downloads from the primary INBOX. So if Fastmail is defined twice as 2 separate accounts (one POP and one IMAP) it is possible to have POP from FastMail Inbox pulled to Inbox in Outlook while subfolders can be used as IMAP (As can Inbox if you desire by not deleting when using POP).

Is there any downside to this approach?
