i am running outlook '07 and when i delete an email from inbox, rather than disappearing into the deleted box, i get a line through the email and it stays in the inbox..which defeats the whole purpose of deletion! i want it deleted and into my deleted folder.
i've searched and i'm sure there's a simple option, but i can not find it.
thanks in advance!

I'm guessing that the mailbox containing the message that you're trying to delete is being viewed in Outlook via IMAP. If so, Outlook marks the message for later deletion rather than actually trashing it at that point. To complete the deletion, you'll need to tell Outlook to "purge deleted messages" (when you're reading mail from an IMAP server, I think the option will appear in the edit menu, if I remember correctly) and Outlook will then reach out and trigger the actual deletion of the messages that you previously marked for deletion.
for some reason, i get a handful of emails send to my spam so i need to have access via outlook. otherwise, i had to open up AOL to get to my spam folder. is there a way to add my AOL spam folder via POP3?

yes, it is IMPA....AOL to be exact. i originally had this email address linked via POP3 to the main inbox "private folders", but it would not show my AOL spam folder. thus, i had to add itvia IMAP to get the spam folder to show.

You'll need to subscribe to the IMAP folder to be able to view its sub-folders such as the junk/spam folder. After you've selected the main IMAP folder (i.e. your AOL inbox), click on IMAP folders from the tools menu. Click on query, then browse the available sub-folders and choose the folders that you are interested in (i.e. your junk mail). Click on subscribe, and you should be all set.
i tried your suggestion and it will not allow me to add my spam folder under personal folders.

yes, when the email is added as IMAP then the spam folder i want is there. but i want to use the personal folder and have access to my AOL spam folder.
i tried your suggestion and it will not allow me to add my spam folder under personal folders.
