Oh gee, when I went out of Outlook and came back in all the ones I hid from view were back too!

This is the best yet! But, James, where do the items go? I can’t find them in any trash or deleted folders, but at least I can’t see them!

Hi,

Slightly offtopic, but if I delete mail with some other client (e.g. webmail), those deleted mails still appear in Outlook even after sync.

Anything to do about that?

Thanks, cheers,
Matt

I don’t have the purge option. I tried doing it from the folder, & the account options, & from the menu bar. No such thing.

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”.
