Re: IMAP Delete Does Not Work Correctly

Hi,

I've already tried that (it's checked by default). It makes no difference.
In fact, whenever I have deleted messages in Outlook from this account, they
stay in the inbox, but with a line through them till they are purged.

Does IMAP message deleting work correctly for you (or anyone else reading
this)?
