After I read an email in inbox, it marks it for deletion.

I open an email in outlook 2003 (SP3), after I open the message to read it
and go back to the inbox, it is marked for deletion. It has a strike through
it. There are not rules set to induce this; the views are set properly (no
hide deleted messages); tried starting in safe mode to reset views; ran
repair option; imap is use; imap settings checked; ran virus and spybot
checker, that's fine. Anybody have any thoughts?

Do you have a scanner, like an and antivirus or -spam scanner integrated with
Outlook? If so, remove that integration and see if that changes the behavior.
