Ok so that proves outlook doesn't respect & display IMAP Deleted flags.

Exchanges IMAP implementation has always been sub par, so I wouldn't 
expect everything to work like a decent IMAP compliant server would. :-)

Also with Office365/Exchange they do some weird stuff like expose the 
calender, contacts, journal & notes folders over IMAP but they are 
completely un-useable on the client side. I really don't get why they do 
that. Anyway...

I explained how to expunge the mailbox in the previous message. 
("expunge" is the command used to delete the messages)
