Problem with Outlook Delete Folder

[Tammy]

Since I got my new computer, when I delete a message from my inbox or other
Outlook folder, it is permanently deleted; it only goes into the Delete
folder if it is unread. When I open it, it disappears.

I’ve checked as many email options as I can and I can’t figure out why this
is happening. (For example, the “Empty Delete Folder on Exit box is not
checked).

Never mind, it was an issue with the View.

Hi Tammy

Glad you solved your problem. Perhaps you can help me out. I need to purge
my inbox of deleted items but my Edit menu pull down does not have a "Purge
Deleted Messages" option. Any other methods of purging that you know of?
