There's a big difference here--GMail is a service that runs on Google's
servers, stores mail there, and allows you to access it via the web
(with GMail) or via POP/IMAP (with a software mail client of your
choice).  IMP is a software package that runs on _your_ server.  The
concept is otherwise fairly similar--you can connect to your mail server
using IMP, a web application that runs on your server, or Outlook (or
whatever), a desktop application that runs on your PCs.

I'm starting to suspect, though, that you have access to an e-mail
account on somebody else's server that uses IMP for the webmail app, and
you want to access that account with Outlook.  Is that it?  If so,
nobody here can help you--you'd need to contact the person or entity
providing the account for that information.  IMP is only the software
used to read the mail, not the provider of the server.
