FWIW, once outlook has the message in the pst, the mail server is clueless
to the deleted state until you sync changes back to it. Outlook is in total
control. If you look at the mailbox using a browser the server will
probably show you the message normally until you purge - it does on the imap
servers I use. They do not mark messages for delete - its deleted or not
deleted, no inbetween.

The information on some of the follow-up posts is partially correct
regarding
the IMAP protocol behavior in Outlook 2007. Some IMAP service will hide
the
message automatically. For example, setting up google apps mail using the
IMAP protocol the messages will not show a line crossed horizontally on
the
subject when a message is deleted. However, it’s still on the server
until
the next time it syncs.
There is a solution to have the email appear deleted with one click of the
delete button for IMAP service that don’t automatically do it for you .
Here is how:
Step 1: First go to View then current view and click on the “Hide
Messages
Marked for Deletion”.
Step 2: Go back to current view of “Hide Messages Marked for Deletion” and
click on “Customize Current View…” Under Description, click on the other
settings tab. Under the “Reading Pane” click on Right or Bottom
(depending
on your view preference).
After this is completed any message you delete will “disappear” from your
folder like in outlook 2003.
Note: You will have to repeat these steps for each IMAP folder. Also,
under account setting in the General tap there is a purge option.

Outlook 2007 Windows Vista Home Premium

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.

With Outlook 2007, I can highlight and mark the messages, press the
delete
button and the messages will show lines crossed horizontally on the
subject
lines. But how do I permanently delete these messsages?

How can I insert an one touch button to my menu bar so the operation to
delete unnecessary messages are simpler?

Thanking in advance for someone's help!
