I have just set up outlook expess, took me all day long to figure that
out. Now I can read my AOL mail in outlook, but when I try to delete
it it only crosses it out with a line. If I want to completely delete
it from outlook, I have to log on to aol mail and delete it there then
it goes away in outlook. Is there not an easier way of deleting aol
mail from outlook? Someone please e-mail me with an answer and
hopefully a solution

This is from the OE Help:

To delete a message from an IMAP account

In the message list, select the message.
On the toolbar, click Delete. This marks the message you want to delete.
On the Edit menu, click Purge Deleted Messages to remove the deleted
items from the folder. Once you purge a message, it cannot be recovered.

Notes

To restore a message that is marked for deletion on an IMAP server, on
the Edit menu, click Undelete.
To automatically purge deleted messages, on the Tools menu, click
Options. On the Maintenance tab, select the Purge deleted messages when
leaving IMAP folders check box.
You must be connected for the deletions to occur; if you are not
connected, the purged messages will be deleted the next time you
connect.
