This has been posted before but there were no responses to it... "I use Outlook 2003 with a IMAP e-mail server. I'm having the following question >> if I delete a message in my IMAP Inbox, the message only get's a line through the headline, it does NOT permanently delete the message or move it to the Deleted Messages folder. This means that after I deleted a message I have to use the option 'Purge deleted messages' from the Edit menu. I can't find any option which moves all deleted messages to the Deleted Messages folder. Is there any other option anybody knows of?? Thanks!!"
