New with Outlook 2003 and IMAP

[skip]

We have just been directed that we have to start using Outlook 2003.
When I mark an email for trash or junk, I get a line through the topic
and it gets grayed out.
Is there a setting I can use that will put the email into trash or
junk when I identify it as trash or junk?

I am also trying to put my address book together. I need to find a way
to have any email coming in with the same address (ex:
(e-mail address removed)) or
([email protected]) be made into a rule and make
sure it goes to the appropriate folder.

I am setup using an IMAP configuration.

Any help would be greatly appreciated since there are several people
looking at me for guidance.

That is the default and proper way for IMAP to show deletions. There is a
command to purge those deletions:
Edit-->Purge Deleted Items
With IMAP, the messages remain on your mail server as well.

You might be able to create a rule to move them to another folder, though I
am not sure how based on the item being deleted. It sounds like you prefer
POP instead of IMAP.

For the second part, you would create such a rule manually, and you would
only need to do so once.
Right-click on the message in your inbox and select 'Create Rule'. Follow
the guidelines there.
