I have recently setup an IMAP email account in Outlook. After using it for a few days I notice that none of the mail items I delete disappear. Each time I delete a mail item it just becomes grey with a line crossing it off. I thought at first it just took time for the message to leave the server. After a couple of days of a cluttered inbox I did a search on the internet and found that you have to tell the Outlook email client to purge all the deleted mail from the server. Here are the steps:

When you want to delete all the crossed out emails go to Edit->Purge->Purge Marked Items in “your email account”
