What causes mails to get striked-over only, and not deleted?
I have tried with this sieve config:
imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Sent imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_after = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/sent.sieve
and this sieve file (sent.sieve):
discard;
This should clearly cause the mail to be deleted right? But whats happen, is that the mail is not deleted, its just marked for deletion (gets a strike-through in Microsoft Outlook).
(have tried with _before too, but it wont help).
What can I do to ensure the mail actually gets deleted (completely, not moved to trash) and not just flagged for deletion?

That means the message has had its "\Deleted" flag set, which is what the discard command does:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6785#section-3.5
But the mailbox has not been "expunged". You probably want to set "imapsieve_expunge_discarded=yes"; see:

Thanks. That solved the problem. Finally got rid of all duplicate items in sent folder. (Because of some mail clients not supporting disabling "Save a copy in sent folder when sending").
But why isn't this documented in the documentation?

If it is a deliberate design decision, it's probably so that if you made a mistake you can undelete them again.
