Message deleted in Thunderbird not reflected in Outlook, are there any workarounds?
Article Number: 162 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 9:14 AM
It is seem when you access your Exchange account with both Thunderbird and Outlook together. When you delete a message in Thunderbird, the message is copied to the Trash folder and marked as delete in your Inbox. Before you perform the Compact action, the message is still in your Inbox.

Workaround 1: Compact your Inbox (by right click your Inbox and select Compact).

Workaround 2 (for advanced users only): set mail.imap.expunge_after_delete to true using the Config editor. Details may refer to:
