Deleted Items folder in OE not working

[Pat Jones]

Hi;

All of a sudden I can't delete email messages in OE. The Deleted Items
Folder is suddenly empty and hitting the delete key on highlighted message
does nothing. When I try to drag a message to the Deleted folder I get and
error message that says :The selected message cannot be moved. An error has
occurred." I can move the message to other folders however. Any known cures
for this ?


Thanks;

Pat

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

1) Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup.
2) With OE closed, delete "Deleted Items.dbx" and restart OE.
