Mark,
	I looked all over the client and was unable to find it as an option in 
the account settings, but in the normal Microsoft fashion of naming

suggestions expunge or purge helped. Microsoft put it under Edit > 
Purge Deleted Messages while highlighting the IMAP Inbox folder. thank 
you for the poiinter.
