Outlook 2007 using IMAP settings: Deleted files are disappearing

[wha kolo]

I am using Outlook 2007 (using IMAP settings) and Windows 7.

When I delete an e-mail in Outlook, a line appears through the message and
it disappears after a few seconds but the message does not get moved to the
deleted (Outlook and IMAP) files folder.

I have checked for the deleted message in my IMAP deleted files and/or trash
folder via webmail as well as in the Outlook deleted folder.

I have unchecked the auto archive and the option to purge the folder on
exiting in Outlook.

Can anyone tell me where these files have gone? Could it be something in my
settings? Is this a bug?

Thank you

You probably have set the Purge items when switching folders option;
Edit-> Purge-> Purge Options...
