Ok, thanks for your guidance. :)
Outlook puts it's 'expunge' command under edit->purge deleted items,
which
I wouldn't have expected.
I'm a bit concerned that users aren't going to ever do this. If I alter
dbmail-maintanance to do a db_expunge() or something similar, is that likely
to screw anything up? It seems to me that it would be pretty benign.
Thanks,
Peter Darley

I can't see that from here ;)
But it sure sounds like the delete commands aren't being sent.
You should check the logs (/var/log/maillog) to see what commands the
client is sending to the server.
