"Could not select 'Deleted items' on the IMAP server. You might try
refreshing your folder list to synchronize with the IMAP server. Specified
mailbox does not exist"

I just bought a new Gateway running Vista. In the left pane of Mail there
is the 'Local Folders' and below that is imap.telus.net. They both contain
all the same folders, including Deleted Items.

When I clicked Tools, Synchronize All I got the following error message:
Header download for the 'Deleted Items' folder did not complete. Could not
select 'Deleted Items' on the IMAP server. You might try refreshing your
folder list to synchronize with the IMAP server. Account: 'imap.telus.net',
Server: 'imap.telus.net', Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: 'The specified
mailbox does not exist', Port: 143, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCCD2
 
I am getting the same error number message but the box says "message creation
failed, mailbox is full. I can not delete these messages. I am so tired of
errors in windows mail.

Try this:
In the left pane, under imap.telus.net, right-click on the Deleted Items folder.
Select 'Synchronization Settings', "Don't Synchronize".
Let us know if that gets rid of your error message.
 
Post the complete error message, like "ciwilson" did below.
I can't do much with a partial error message.
 
I tried this and it has done nothing. My messages are piling up in my inbox
because I can not delete anything.
 
I'm no IMAP expert, but I understand that IMAP works better in the newer
Windows Live Mail program. Give it a try:

Protocol IMAP port 143 secure (SSL):0 code ox800cccd2 is complete error
messgae. My mail wont delete from the inbox or sent items and I am not
recieving larger files now as well. Stating my mail box is full. I need to
receive drawings for work so this is becoming an issue. Do you have any
ideas?
 
Sounds like your mailbox on the server is overly full. Log in via webmail
and delete messages from there.
