IIRC, Outlook 2007 copies the message to a fixed named "Deleted Items"
folder, then marks the original message as deleted and finally Expunges
it.

Earlier versions of Outlook just flagged the message as deleted and
didn't use a Deleted Items folder at all, virtual or otherwise.

As much as I absolutely despise the whole "Deleted Items" folder as a
concept, I've given up fighting it, too many clients don't have a
choice, so for the sake of consistency, I'd love to see this
functionality added to LogicMail.
