when using old Outlook Express and I deleted an item in my Inbox, the screen
simply showed a line ------- through the entry and did not completely delete
it until I hit "Purge."

Now, using windows mail, when I delete a message in my Inbox, the item
completely disappears! I would like to have the line either remain on the
screen with a line through it (like Outlook Express) or be transferred to a
Deleted Items folder. As regards the latter, Windows mail appears to give
that option, but I can't figure out how to make it work...G>
 
OE never had a line through messages to be deleted from the local folders.
I think you must be thinking of something else. There is also no "Purge"
button in OE. Maybe you were thinking Outlook.

Steve, both appear in OE with an IMAP account.

Both the line through a deleted item and a "Purge" button are
characteristics of an IMAP account. Most IMAP accounts will also work as
POP3, if that's how you have the client set. Verify you have this account
setup for IMAP and not POP3 service.
