deleted items folder will not empty

[Guest]

When I right-click and choose "Empty deleted items folder" the only email
that deletes is the newest one. What happend to my "delete all" function? It
was working find a few days ago.

You've run into one of several things that can go wrong with
Windows Mail. There is no fix at this time.

This was great info! wondered what had happened to empty deleted items
option. Just had to go a little further to get it!

Open Windows Mail
Select Tools
Select Advanced Options
Select Empty Deleted items Folder at Exit

You Just better really mean it!!

HELP!! I am a vista rookie trying to set up my Windows Mail (POP3) account
and not really getting it. Can anybody walk me through it??

Your ISP should have a self-help web page that explains how to
set up a mail account in Outlook Express. Just follow those directions.

I am having the same problem and have tried going to tools,options,advanced,
maintenance, empty "deleted items'on exit"(did not work),cleanup now,remove
messages(worked but still have message headings), delete button(did not work).
Looks like MS entire mail system is faulty. Vista is continuing to screw up
in other programs as well.

You're right, Windows Mail is buggy. Replace it with WLM:
