Nope. Because with IMAP, there's 2 steps to deleting an email message. In Outlook, when you delete a message, it only marks the message for deletion. It will still display in your inbox, but with a line through it. Unless you Purge Deleted Messages, it will stay in your inbox (just marked for deletion).
Therefore, the message never gets into your Deleted Items folder (I have my IMAP server setup to move items to the Trash folder when they are purged).
Check in the Outlook newsgroups, its a known "issue" with people who use Outlook with IMAP. The only response you ever get from Outlook support is "you have to manually purge".

My big issue with Outlook, is that its support for IMAP leaves a lot to be desired. With IMAP, deleting is a two part process, marking message as deleted, and purging. Outlook has no way to automatically purge deleted messages, and it drives me nuts. Every other IMAP client I have seen does this. Thunderbird, which I use now, has the option to purge when you close. Outlook, you have to delete the message, then use a menu item to purge (or you can put the button on your tool bar). I've gone on the Outlook newsgroup, and the only response you get is "you need to purge using the menu item". Funny thing is, Outlook Express has this feature...
