Outlook shows SOME deleted messages even after restart

Question

I'm having a problem with deleting messages on Exchange (IMAP). This problem falls somewhere between javamail, Exchange, and Outlook. I do something like this:
    folder = store.getFolder(folderPath);
    folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
    Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
    // do processing
    for ( Message m : msgs )
        m.setFlag( javax.mail.Flags.Flag.DELETED, true );
    folder.close(true); //  Expunge all messages w/DELETED flagThis works MOST of the time. For some reason, Outlook 2003 continues to show SOME of the deleted messages in the folder, even if I click on "Send/Receive", and even if I restart Outlook. No exceptions occur during the processing.
I also wrote a simple program to get all messages in the folder. This program shows that there are 0 messages in the folder, but they continue to show up in Outlook. Anyone know why Outlook still displays these "phantom" messages!?
TIA,
Vick

Answer 1

Here's a debug session sample where the folder shows 2 messages in Outlook, but none in JavaMail. The two messages in Outlook can be opened and viewed. They remain even after "Send/Receive" and restart of Outlook. These two "phantom" messages were deleted with JavaMail in a previous pass using code shown in previous post.
