Hello,

When an e-mail is deleted in an Outlook IMAP account, the message is
still displayed in the inbox with a line through it. Is there any way to set
the function, so that when a message is deleted, it actually is moved to the
Deleted Items folder like in a POP3 account?


Many Thanks
 
No, the IMAP protocol has a different model of deletion than other types of
mail. You'll need to go to Edit -> Purge Deleted Messages to actually
delete the messages. You can use Tools -> Customize to add this command to
your toolbar to make it easier (that's what I do).
