Can you explain this further? It's difficult to understand what is the issue with IMAP and the Outlook client. Especially your statement "not being able to delete copies in Outlook" . Of course you can delete messages using Outlook. Are you referring to the option of having a local archive folder that doesn't sync with the server? One typical set up is to have a provider mailbox capable of storing thousands of messages (sort of expected nowadays) and keep all of your important read messages on the server -- but not in your inbox of course.
