I recently got a new laptop and have slowly migrated all my .pst files over from an external hard drive that were saved from an old PC.

I installed Microsoft Office 2021 on the laptop. Then I set up the Outlook 2021 office client to sync with and pull my GMX.COM emails to Outlook using IMAP.

But now I noticed I have several duplicate folders (sent mail, outbox, junk mail, etc). I also have trouble sending out emails, either my emails hang in the outbox, or I get a certificate error.

I remember this also happened several years ago when I changed computers. However, I don't remember how I worked through it.

Have I been doing something wrong these both times? Surely this process can't be this messy.

Would the Outlook Freeware app be able to help me with this?

And with various Imap server implementations, it doesn't always work so well. Our utilities can help with removing duplicates, moving various items. But we don't have utilities to work directly with the servers, to send or receive mail, synchronization or certificates.
