Are you sure that they weren't removed the first time but Outlook didn't 
refresh its header listing?

I have seen outlook take its sweet time in updating its header listings with 
IMAP. I never thought that its support for IMAP could be worse than its 
support for POP3.

I have to deal with it just because of the varied users I support, so I have 
Outlook, outlook express and thunderbird all configured to see my message 
store just for experimentations sake. But I use thunderbird daily.
