Default Outbox folder not working (Outlook 2003/Gmail Imap)

Hi all, could someone tell me if it is possible to do the following (I had this setup perfect when connected to Exchange but doesn't seem to work now)

I have an IMAP account setup (through gmail) and it is set to send FROM my alias address.

The actual sending works perfect but I would like..

a) to be able to hold items in the Outbox (so I can inspect the emails if necessary) until I hit Send/Receive
b) get a copy in Sent Items somewhere (I don't actually care where this is, be it my own Sent Items or a separate pst file)

At the moment the email just sends immediately, doesn't wait in the Outbox and I have no record of it ever going (apart from receiving it at the other end).

Thanks in advance for any help
John

p.s should probably mention - I have specified an INCORRECT incoming mail server because I don't want all my emails to download into Outlook (I am simply using it to send on behalf of my alias) - perhaps this is the flaw?
