Hehe, same here. Never noticed that before. Apparently it started here last August doing that.

I just checked and indeed WP (while scanning for any mail to be deliverd) seems to create an Outbound folder for each zone presented by a remote system during a mail session. Looks odd, but is totally harmless. Have added it to my list.
