In Outlook 2010 there was an option to have the delete action move the e-mails into a specific IMAP folder instead of moving them to trash. That option is apparently has been dropped in Outlook 2013.
When I delete an e-mail in Outlook 2013, it ends up in the trash folder on GMail. I prefer to just archive the e-mails in another folder/label and keep them forever or until I hit my 10 GB limit (which ever comes first :)).
My GMail IMAP settings are:
When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted: Auto-Expunge on - Immediately update the server.
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Archive the message (default)
I would have thought that with these settings it would be impossible for an IMAP client to trash an e-mail.
Outlook may be trying to be too clever, moving messages to the trash folder rather than merely marking it deleted. Not sure what to do about it if that's the case... – Darael – 2013-02-01T00:10:39.977
