The real benefit Gmail has over most other email solutions, including Outlook, is labels for emails which are like virtual mailboxes. Almost all IMAP-based solutions I've seen don't attempt to solve this problem, which is why people keep using Gmail. If something like this was automated through Dovecot, people would be much more likely to host there own email.
