I've personally found most versions of Outlook (and OE) quite 
satisfactory with IMAP?

I believe you need to change an option with Outlook to make it hide the 
deleted messages:

The other thing I found with Outlook is that you may need to tweak the 
Deleted/Sent folder options depending on your setup.  Outlook defaults 
to namespace so if you are using any kind of namespace on your server 
then I think the deleted and sent folders default to being local?  If 
you have used Dovecot suggested options then you will have a flat 
namespace so disregard this... (I was using Courier before, hence this 
was an issue)

I think some versions of outlook may also need you to flick an option to 
set them to store Deleted/Drafts and Sent on the server??
