Outlook 2997 how to delete messagesI 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! sn >With Outlook 2007, I can highlight and mark the messages, press the delete button You hit Send\Receive when as you say the lines are crossed horizontally>and the messages will show lines crossed horizontally on the subject lines.

IMAP on Outlook has always required two steps to delete news:OO8qCZOqJHA.2124@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > 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.

I suspect you were using the "Hide Messages Marked for Deletion" view in the prior version. Use it again. You'll still need to click Edit>Purge Deleted Items periodically to rid your mailbox of the messages you've marked for deletion but are hiding with the view or, alternatively, enable the new Outlook 2007 option that will purge automatically when you change folders. It's an account property. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] 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 Deletionâ€. 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.

http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/grouping.htm 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. -- Show quoteHide quoteDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-requ***@lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQU***@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
