If you have to walk someone through a solution, better explain them "add the expunge button to the outlook toolbar, and click it to permanentely delete messages". Also, it should be relatively easy to write an outlook plugin that auto-expunge messages on deletion, possibly copying them to some "Trash" folder first. You may find one already written : IMAP is not so uncommon, and this is a common concern abount IMAP and outlook. The kind of functionality you want could be achieved more elegantly and more usefully by implementing lemonade-imap-sieve (sieve-like scripting on the imap operation level, not only on delivery, see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lemonade-imap-sieve-05). Also, be aware that Outlook's IMAP implementation is commonly considered as being flawed, and behaving poorly on very large mailboxes. It goes better with Outlook 2007, or so I'm told, so YMMV.
