I have not setup a trash folder in Dekko.

When I go with the MUA mutt, using the same IMAP configuration as Dekko
does, to the inbox on the same OutLook server, the deleted mails are
there with the 'D' flag:

289  D  May 13 JIRA (Do Not Re ( 23K) [JIRA] (SRP-21526) Konverter Marc21ToSisisTitel laesst sich n
290  D  May 13 JIRA (Do Not Re ( 25K) [JIRA] (SRP-21526) Konverter Marc21ToSisisTitel laesst sich n
291  D  May 13 Matthias Apitz  ( 18K) test

When I now leave mutt, it is asking me if it should delete finally the
mails having a 'D' flag:

¿Expulsar 5 mensajes suprimidos? ([sí]/no):

When I now leave mutt, it is asking me if it should delete finally the
mails having a 'D' flag:

Purge 5 deleted messages? ([yes]/no): 

If I say 'yes' the mails are deleted and no longer in OutLook.

What should I do to get the messages deleted with Dekko?

Thanks for your help
