I definitely want offline capability - just make it item level sync over the
cloud!

Huh? That's how POP3 works. IMAP syncs every folder on the server to
Outlook. It doesn't handle contacts and calendar though (some addins can
sync both to an IMAP account)

Outlook is optimized to work with exchange because the bulk of the seats are
sold to exchange orgs. WLM is preferred only because its smaller, simpler,
lighter, easier... you name it. Most home users don't need the power Outlook
offers. Outlook works just fine for home users - unfortunately, POP3 was
not optimized for cloud computing and that's what most ISPs offer.

My ISP IMAP service only synched the inbox - useless.

Incidentally, how can Mac make their mac.com email addresses sync with
Outlook from their server when with a Microsoft live address we have to use
that clumsy Outlook connector?

I have no idea who Mac does it - possible with imap for mail and ical for
calendar.

Your ISP either has IMAP configured wrong or you didn't set it to include
all online folders - you can tell outlook to sync only certain folders.
