Default Sending deleted messages to the deleted message folder

In Outlook 2003 when I finish reading a message, I want to delete it but want
it to go to the deleted message folder, in case I need it later. Do I have
to move each message to the deleted folder once I have deleted it or is there
a way to have them move automatically to the deleted folder when I close
Outlook?

I know to not check the box to empty the deleted folder upon closing.

If you delete a message, it goes to the deleted items folder automatically.
Is this not working? Are you perchance using an IMAP account?

Note - the deleted items folder is *not* a good place to store anything. If
you think you might need something later, don't delete it. You don't keep
your crystal champagne flutes in your kitchen wastebasket, do you? :-)

I believe it is an IMAP account. In fact, I just checked and it is an IMAP.
Any suggestions?

I don't have such an account handy - but I believe with IMAP the messages
aren't really cleared until you select 'purge'.
