O2003/O2007: How to delete E-mail from server when I move it fromInbox (Netscape-style functionality

[kirkhave]

Hello, all.

We're using Netscape, and would like to switch to Outlook. However,
there's a problem:

Netscape has the option to

[X] Leave messages on server
....
[X] Until I delete or move them from Inbox. <------

Outlook does not seem to allow this option - only deleting messages
from server when deleted from "Deleted Items" folder.

Reason this is a problem: we need to keep all E-mails archived in
local folders, on each computer. Deleting them is NOT an option.

So, here's my question:

Is it possible to set up Outlook to delete a message from server when
the message has been manually moved to a folder other than Inbox?
(Moved manually, not by a rule).

If so, how is this possible? Macros / VB scripts? Third-party plugins?

The OS on all computers is Windows XP, Outlook version is either 2003
or 2007.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

No, the option only exists to delete from server when deleted from deleted items. You can institure a local archiving solution that will capture messages if you set archiving for 1 day from the inbox.
