Immediately purge deleted messages in IMAP

Hi,

Is there any option to immediately purge the deleted messages in
outlook (any version) or outlook express.

In Outlook Express, messages are purged (when Purge Deleted Messages
option is selected in Tools -> Maintenance) when you leave inbox
folder.

But i want to immediately purge the message, when i hit delete.

Thanks in advance,
Vimal

IMAP doesn't support immediately deleting a message because the messages are
stored on the server and a copy is in outlook. You need to choose to purge
and then it deletes all messages marked for deletion from the server.
