Deleted Messages can't be deleted from "Deleted Items"

[Dave]

One of the FIRST things you need to learn about Vista is that even an
administrator has only normal powers until your superpowers are required...
like Popeye eating his spinach..

Uhh, are you sure you know what you are doing?

When I try to empty the Deleted Items folder I get an "unknown error has
occurred" message. In short, I can't delete items in the Deleted Items
folder. When I right-click and chose "empty folder" it deleted one item in
the folder but not all. Junk folder works fine. If I select items in the
Deleted Items folder and click delete the same error message pops up. Any
idea how to fix this?

Download and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
tend to cause this and other problems in Windows Mail, although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember
where to find the hotfix, and hope it will install again if you need it
again. A recent version of the Trend antivirus program also causes
assorted problems in Windows Mail.
