Default Main Inbox not receiving

I recently installed Outlook 2007 (1st time on personal cpu) and it's not
receiving any mail in the normal Inbox. It does receive email but in another
inbox labeled "Inbox in my name". It does save messages sent in the normal
sent box. I use IMAP and I'm trying to link with a webhosting server. Anyone
know how to get my mail to come to the correct inbox?

It is going to the correct Inbox. All IMAP accounts have their own, separate
Inbox (and any other folder that's on the server) distinct from your default
folders. That's because IMAP accounts always reflect what's on the server,
cannot have Contacts, Calendar, and Task folders (so they'll need a folder set
separate from the folder set containing those folders), and Outlook always
populates your default data store with all of the default folder names, even
if you do not intend to use them.
