Outlook 2007: Deleted files are disappearing

W

wha kolo

I am using Outlook 2007.

When I delete an e-mail it just disappears instead of showing up in th
deleted files folder (personal folder) and/or IMAP). I have checked fo
these files in my IMAP deleted files, IMAP trash and personal delete
files.

Can anyone tell me where these files have gone? Could it be somethin
in my settings?

Thank yo

Is your view set to hide deleted items?
Settings your view to Messages should show all the items in that folder
including the Deleted Items in strikethrough font.
View-> Current View-> Messages

IMAP accounts can be set to auto-purge the deleted items when changing
folders. You can change this setting via the Edit menu.

No, I did not hide the deleted items view and I have unchecked auto
archive and auto purge in the deleted items menu.

I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2007

Thanks for your help.

I am using Outlook 2007 (using IMAP settings) and Windows 7.

When I delete an e-mail in Outlook, a line appears through the message and
it disappears after a few seconds but the message does not get moved to the
deleted (Outlook and IMAP) files folder.

I have checked for the deleted message in my IMAP deleted files and/or trash
folder via webmail as well as in the Outlook deleted folder.
I have unchecked the auto archive and the option to purge the folder on
exiting in Outlook.

Can anyone tell me where these files have gone? Could it be something in my
settings? Is this a bug?

Thank you
