I recently upgraded my PC to Vista and I have Outlook 2007.

The messages I want to delete in my inbox mailbox (IMAP) cannot be deleted
with one "delete" operation. With previous versoin of Outlook (2003), when I
wanted to delete unnecessary messages, all I had to highlight that message
and press the delete button.

Simply not true. IMAP on Outlook has always required two steps to delete
anything. I suspect you were using the "Hide Messages Marked for Deletion"
view in the prior version. Use it again. You'll still need to click
EditPurge Deleted Items periodically to rid your mailbox of the messages
you've marked for deletion but are hiding with the view or, alternatively,
enable the new Outlook 2007 option that will purge automatically when you
change folders. It's an account property.
