emails stuck in deleted folder

[Guest]

Hi, I am very very new at all this. I had an email that I deleted and it got
transferred into the "deleted" folder. I can not delete it from that folder
now. and every day more emails I delete end up the same way (but not all of
the ones I delete), so I now I have about 10 emails in the deleted folder and
I can not get rid of them. The message I get says "Message could not be
displayed
Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again."

Help please!!!!

Yocky,

Try downloading this utility at http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx
and see if it helps.

That won't work for deleted items messages.

Try going to Edit | Empty deleted items several times. Some are saying that
is working for those.

That has worked for me however I still have one lingering e-mail in my junk
folder that still can not be deleted. I still get file can not be deleted. I
have removed my MacAfee and added Avast I also downloaded the "oehelp" tool.
Still I have this one junk email I can not get rid of. Any other suggestions
for this one remaining problem one.
Thanks

Steve,

I thought maybe the "Repair Database" might work.

I had hoped so also, but its not that simple. The records in the database
have to be deleted externally to WinMail and the only way to do that is to
write program to do it, which I did for the outbox.

Just ignore it at this point.
