Hope this is the correct forum, did not see one specifically for Windows Mail, only Windows "Live
Mail." (What is Windows "Live Mail" anyway?)
My question is regarding my "Deleted Items" folder. From the beginning I had set my Advanced
Mail>Maintenance settings to automatically delete the contents of my "Deleted Items" folder, yet for
some reason it stopped doing this sometime back in November.
Now I find myself with over 4000 deleted e-mails in the folder, many of them which can no longer
even be viewed. Not only will they not delete upon exiting the Windows Mail program, but when
selecting the "Deleted Items" folder, right clicking and selecting "Empty Deleted Items Folder,"
again nothing will delete. The window I click on to accept deleting the files goes away, but nothing
else opens or happens.
Is there something I did which caused this, or is this an error others are having with Vista
(Premium) and Windows Mail?
Am I able to delete the Deleted Items folder without causing any further problems and then recreate
a new one? There's nothing in Maintenance I can use without removing all my mail, right? I have
tried looking this exact situation up via Windows Help as well as all the online Knowledge databases
and MS help sources. Surely I can't be the only person to have ever had this issue. (I know, "Don't
call me Shirley!" LOL)
Please let me know what can be done to fix this. No need bogging down my system or the Mail program
by holding onto 4035 old messages.
