However, in this case the items are permanently deleted, The command provided under the Clean up section of the Folder menu in the ribbon, or use the other checkbox just under 'Mark items for deletion.' to automatically purge the items when you switch folder. Then you can either purge them manually using Depending on the view you are using they are either hidden (so it looks like they have been deleted) or shown with a strike-through line. If you check it, the messages are not deleted, but marked for deletion. It is used to switch between the 'traditional' IMAP behavior and the 'Exchange-like' behavior. Hi, no, that checkbox doesn't solve the problem. I'm now enabling Outlook logging and see whether I can find some hints about what's going on. I keep getting the infamous error 'Sorry, something went wrong. I also have the problem that I cannot empty the Deleted Items and Junk E-mails folders using the 'Empty folder' command. I assume at this point it is indeed a problem in Outlook 2016 itself, however, I'd like to know whether IMAP is working for other people.

All Office 2016 setups have this problem, the two Office 2013 setups work fineĤ) Deleting messages also works fine from the mail server web interface and the Windows Mail modern app. In summary:ġ) Exchange accounts have no problems, only IMAP accounts are affectedĢ) I've also tried most of what you have tried in the past few days, but nothing fixes the issuesģ) Between home and work I have 5 computers, three with Office 2016 and two with Office 2013, all using the same accounts. What you describe is exactly what I experienced and reported in my opening post. I can delete email from an Exchange email account (i.e., *** Email address is removed for privacy ***) which implies that this only affects IMAP accounts.I can mark email as Read/Unread, which shows that Outlook is able to modify an existing email on the server using IMAP (although it doesn't seem to be able to delete an email on the server).Confirmed that I can delete email from these accounts from a different computer that is running Office 2013.

Confirmed that I have full permissions to the folder containing my *.pst and *.ost files.Disabled all non-Microsoft Outlook addins.Ran Outlook in safe mode (i.e., 'Outlook.exe /safe').

Uninstalled Office 2010 (which was still installed after installing Office 2013 and upgrading to Office 2016).

Re syncronized the IMAP folders from within Outlook.

Deleted the *.ost file for one of the email accounts that is experiencing this problem (all seven of my IMAP email accounts have this problem).

Ran the Online Repair on Microsoft Office 365 (from Programs and Features).

I'm documenting what I've tried to create a paper trail while seeking a solution. To others who are encountering this problem (where deleting an IMAP email in Outlook 2016 moves it to the Deleted folder by leaves the email in the original folder), I've tried the following (not necessarily in this order) and still This error occurs with both checked and unchecked 'Mark items for deletion.' box.įtamminga, I wasn't suggesting that the link I provided contained a solution, only that some people experienced this problem in the Preview version of Office 2016. In addition I cannot empty the Deleted Items and Junk E-mail folders, I keep getting the notification that 'something went wrong'. As far as I can see this problem was found already in the Preview version and not fixed yet. The default behavior of moving the items to Deleted Items seems to be broken. However, in this case they are not moved to Deleted Items. The items are marked for deletion and in the default view the items marked for deletion are hidden and then removed when I switch folders. Checking the box 'Mark items for deletion but don't move them automatically' only appears to solve the problem, because The core of the problem is that when deleting messages from an IMAP account, the message is COPIED to Deleted Items and not MOVED to it. Removing and recreating the IMAP accounts in the profile does not fix the issue. Exchange works fine, both IMAP accounts have the same issue. I have one Exchange and two IMAP accounts in my profile.
