Cannot delete messages from either the in-box or the deleted items box after
many tries. Message to me says an unknown error has occurred every time I
try to delete anything. CA

A fix as been released by M$ to resolve the problem of undeletable mails:

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

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

It works for all folders.

Thanks for the help...I'll give it a try...I am using Windows Vista.
Appreciate the replies. Clair
 
As I had said before but my post was mainly ignored - the way to get rid of a
message that is "stuck" in a particular folder is to move all the messages
you want to keep into another folder and then delete the folder the "stuck"
message is in - it works every time.

Wrote that way back when I first tried the Vista "upgrade" that I received
for my new PC that came with XP (early 2007) - went back to XP after about 3
days of Vista nonsense. But here I am back in Vista again since recently had
a problem with the PC and could not get the reformat to XP to work - could
only start it with the Vista upgrade disk - I have not given up trying to get
my beloved XP back though.
 
I downloaded the Microsoft software and I can't get it to work. How does it
work after the download? I have messages stuck in my in-box.

Thank you
 
I've tried to move the messages into another folder. They won't move and I
get an error message
 
"DeWitch" is not one of the regular responders here. It is best to
take advice only from the regular responders who have been here
a long time and know the ropes.
