Deleted Items Folder

[Guest]

None of my email in this folder can be deleted, I get a message that an
unknown error has occurred when I try to delete one at a time. When I try to
empty the whole folder nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated

The fix has been posted here numerous times. All you need to
do is invest a few minutes in reading the responses.
Microsoft's fix:

"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a
computer that is running Windows Vista."

Although Outbox is the only folder mentioned, in fact it works with all folders.

I just would like to say I am very thankful for that website for help. I
downloaded the 32 and everything is working now. I had not only the deleted
emails that I could not delete, but it also invaded my inbox and junk
folder, with that message about an error. Now we are emptying the deleted
file again and I am so happy.

To solve the stuck message problem, use this Microsoft fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090

Although it only mentions Outbox, in fact it will remove stuck
messages from any folder.

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

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,
or a recent one from Trend, tend to cause such problems, although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember
where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.

I cannot install this update. it says it is not available for my system. 32
or 64 do not work.

I don't see your description of the problem you are having with Windows Mail.
Assuming it is an inability to delete messages:
Try running the various repair functions in the WMUtil program:

If no improvement, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Please take a deep breath and them explain the problem you are having in
unabbreviated sentences. If it is not a windows mail problem try to post in
the correct group for your problem.
