List Pane issue in Outlook 2003

I've been through several tutorials, and don't even see this issue listed
anywhere. I'm sure it's an easy fix, though. When I go to my inbox and have
finished with any given email, I want it to LEAVE the inbox, just as it does
by default on any other email client I've ever seen. It should either
automatically go to a USED folder, or just plain go away if i have deleted
it. Instead, Outlook just draws a line through the subject heading to show
it's been deleted, or it de-bolds the header if it has already been read. I
want Outlook to function like the interface I was used to with AOL or Gmail.
Can anyone suggest?

You have IMAP configured in Outlook - you can use a view that hides deleted
items that haven't been purged. Purge the items from the purge command on
the Edit menu.
