Resolved Deleting Messages in Outlook

My wife uses Outlook 2003 on one PC, Outlook 2007 on another, and Outlook 2010 on a third machine (no questions please ) to read her Cox.net email. The issue is, she deletes messages on one PC, but they still show up in the other two Outlook instances. I thought there was a way to tell Outlook to remove messages from the server so the would be eliminated from view on any Outlook instance, but I cannot remember or find that information. Thoughts, anyone?

 

Set all three up to use IMAP instead of POP3. (If her email provider supports IMAP).

 

Thanks! Looks like I'll be doing just that.

 

Make sure that there isn't a check in the box to leave messages on the server. Sounds like there is a check mark.

Think that it is the same on all the Outlook Versions.

I'm bumping a slightly-old thread here, but if you switch to IMAP, you'll have to purge deleted items before they actually get removed from Outlook and your server.

Purge IMAP items marked for deletion​

This is all new to me of late, but the beauty of it all is that anything purged within Outlook gets removed online as well. In addition, any folders created in Outlook will get recreated online as well. At least that's been my experience.
