Cannot delete mail in INBOX, -- Windows Live Mail, IMAP

I like WLMail very much because its simple and easy to use and eye candy UI.
I have been using it for a while. But there is a annoying problem just
keeping bothering me. Whenever I delete a message in INBOX, not only a copy
of the email is sent to DELETED ITEMS but also the same message reappears in
the INBOX. If I check the status of the email in the INBOX by another mail
client, I will find that the email is not deleted. I knew that I can uncheck
"Use Deleted Items folder..." in the option menu. But the problem of doing
that is the deleted email will not be saved, which is not what I want. I want
all deleted email sent to DELETED ITEMS folder and then I can deleted them
later when I am sure they are no longer useful. Recently I found a way to
kind of walk around the problem. Intead of deleting email every time, I can
move (by dragging the email) to the DELETED ITEMS. But as you can see, this
is not a permenent solution.

The similar thing happens to the JUNK mail also. When there is a mail
detected by WLMail as JUNK mail, the WLMail will copy the mail to the JUNK
mail folder indead of moving it to the folder.

In the past, I used Thunderbird and it didn't have this kind of problem. So
I am pretty sure it's not caused by the setting of the server.

Other than this glitch, all others seems to be fine. I shall also mention
that I am using IMAP to receive emails.

Is this a pop account or Hotmail?

I also like to mention that my Hotmail account doesn't have this problem.
