If you want it to function more like a POP account, where messages are removed from the inbox right when you click on delete, go to View –> Current View and select “Hide messages marked for deletion.”

It gets even easier in later versions of Outlook 2007 by going to the “Purge Options…” window off the same “Edit” -> “Purge >” menu. You can have the records marked for deletion automatically purged when switching folders by checking the “Purge items when switching folders while online”.

A better was to do this so it does it automatically is to go to View > Current View > select “Hide messages marked for deletion” then the reading panel will disappear but you will notice that all deleted messages are hidden. To get the reading panel back up go to View > Reading Panel > Right or Bottom.
