imap email help

Hi everyone,

My email account is run through an IMAP server, and one of the things that I hate about IMAP compared to Exchange or POP3 is that when you delete a message, it just shadows it out and puts a line through it. I know that this is because IMAP works differently than the other two, but is there a way to change some setting, create a filter, or something else so that when I delete a message it will move the message to the Trash folder?

Also, I can't seem to get Outlook to use my local folders. My IMAP account is the only account associated with Outlook, but if I actually want to use it I have to click on the accout name in the "All mail folders" tab and expand it to the inbox, which is getting kind of annoying. Is there any way I can have Outlook make my IMAP account use the Personal folders?

Thanks a bunch.

You can't make it move to the Trash folder, but you can hide it with a view.

Also, I can't seem to get Outlook to use my local folders. My IMAP
account is the only account associated with Outlook, but if I actually
want to use it I have to click on the accout name in the "All mail
folders" tab and expand it to the inbox, which is getting kind of

There is no way to do that. An IMAP account cannot be a delivery location
and, hence, cannot be the default folders.
