I found a work around, I marked all mail in the deleted items folder as
unread, then proceeded to right click on the folder and left click on the
empty deleted items folder.
I continued to do this until all mail was removed from deleted items folder,
and now it works fine when you select delete all.

The 'Empty Deleted Items folder' has never worked since I got this computer
in Feb this year. I've been able to delete the messages individually except
for the ones that say
'Message could not be displayed'.

and I've tried all the suggestions except the WLM thing.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Jody
