IMAP NAMESPACE in Outlook

I'm having difficulty configuring outlook to use an IMAP server -
Outlook doesn't request the NAMESPACE per RFC 2342, so it isn't
requesting a list of the folders within the "#shared." folders.

(excerpt from rfc2342)
In addition, users are often required to manually enter the prefixes
of various namespaces in order to view the mailboxes located there.
For example, they might be required to enter the prefix of #shared to
view the shared mailboxes namespace. The NAMESPACE command allows a
client to automatically discover the namespaces that are available on
a server.

I can get it working if I create a new account and set a Root folder
of "#shared.", but I have to do this for each of the namespaces which
is a little messy.

TIA,
