In my main inbox (Outlook 2003), I delete messages but they stay visible
(with a line through them), even though I have "Hide messages marked for
deletion" selected on the toolbar and under "current view." Strangely,
this doesn't occur in my other folders -- there the messages are hidden
after being deleted [which I prefer], even though I seem to have the same
preferences selected.
 
Are you doing this in an Exchange environment? Or IMAP? An old company of
mine had a brief flirtation with IMAP Client/Server email and I have memories
of our executives being annoyed about the line thru the delted emails.

I just found a confirmation of that effect on with Outlook/IMAP @

We reverted to Exchange after about a month of that and other performance
issues. Outlook REALLY DOES work best with Exchange as the Server.
