Hi Jason, forget about workarounds for outlook express
its a broken client for several reasons, just advice not not use it.
Outlook isnt Outlook , div versions with div patchlevel
working in different ways and have different ways
( or no ways ) to solve your Problem
here ist good advice for imap purge
http://www.landaenterprises.com/support/email_imap_delete.asp
note purge in this case ist a function
of the client which the user may handle as he likes
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to work around.
if you want outlook move sent mails to a imap sent folder
use a filter rule
look here for advice

I thought those were already being handled correctly. Looks like I've
got to look into that too.
at last tell your users that outlook isnt a universal mail client
specially with imap and smtp
I know that. You know that, but my clients are certainly not going to
accept that as an answer. They'll simply go elsewhere.
Outlook is the client of m$ case in first case
and fits to exchanges needs,
and only with exchange it offers its workgroup funktions
which are from interest in companies
m$ has no interest to make it
better work with imap cause , they would loose money if the do so,
cause as time goes by , specially smaller companies may find
no need to buy expensive windows and exchange servers outlook
licences anymore
Preaching to the choir.
advice users to use thunderbird/lightning as better choice
I do. I actually push Thunderbird pretty heavily. Maybe too heavily.
Same goes to apple mail which does serveral funny stuff with imap
All these products are formed to make money with the special
services m$
and apple provides, they arent meant to be highly compatible
to wide spreaded imap,smtp opensoftware servers which mostly very
clean coded
We'll I'll have to disagree with you there. I find Mail.app to be a
great little program. Mac OS X Server uses Cyrus and Postfix. I've
even gone command line to fine tune some spam settings. Now, you can
certainly dis-Apple for many other things, but Mail.app works to spec.
Cheers,
Jason
