Use a view that hides deleted items and set the account to purge on folder
change - this will purge the folders frequently. With a folder in the IMAP
account select, go to the Edit menu - select Purge, Purge options

Outlook doesn't use deleted folders for IMAP.

Hello,
I hope you are still listening to that topic, even though the initial
discussion is more than 1 year old. I had to re-install the operating
system and the M.S. Office pack inclusive of M.S. Outlook. And - despite I
was using M.D. Outlook 2007 for quite a while - this problem with not
being able to delete items in the Inbox Folder in one workstep and the
problmes with not havingt a Deleted Items Folder comes up.

It is annoying to first first get the strikethrough on items in the inbox
when clicking the "delete" button and afterwards have to go to Edit -
purge.
Is there a solution to that meanwhile? I did not come across that problem
in M.S. Outlook until some days ago.

And how to create a Deleted Folder under IMAP? I am using one.com as
domain host. Is it wise to switch to POP and excaping M.S. Outlook
problems?

Karin

Outlook uses PST for its data storage for all account types except
Exchange.
Normally I'd say that if the server contains "imap" in its name you'd be
correct to assume it's an IMAP server, but since "imap.gamil.com",
"smtp.gmail.com", and "pop.gmail.com" are all alias for the same servers,
they're interchangeable and don't tell you anything about the account
type.
