I am using Outlook 2007, beta.

There are some things that I am not quite comfortable with IMAP and was
wondering if some could share their experiences...

Deleting items:
I understand that IMAP doesn't naturally move deleted items to a deleted or
trash folder because it uses more bandwidth. So... How do you all handle
deleted items?

Basically, my issue is this. I like to delete things then hold them until
about 30 days after they were recieved. This is just in case I need that
email again. But, everything after 30 days, I want to purge.

It seems to me that IMAP clients only like to purge all for deleted, rather
than have a system for only purging a select subset of emails based on a
date... Anyone following me?

Can you perge individual messages, or just purge all marked for deletion?

Speed:
At least in Outlook 2007 and previous versions of outlook I have noticed a
speed issue with the client, particularly as it seeks to query the folder
each time you click on it. The client hangs as it waits for the new
information to be downloaded from the imap server... Is it possible to have
it just query the folder during the "Send and Recieve" ?

Thanks in advance.
