Mail will not delete

[John Barnes]

Suddenly my deleted items on e-mail will not empty. It wont empty on
closing, it wont empty if I click on empty deleted folder, and it wont empty
by using select all and delete. It worked fine until about a week ago and
now it is full to bursting and I cant even get it to delete one at a time.
Any suggestions? (It gives me an error message : "an unknown error was
encountered")

The messages are stored in the format of <subject text>.nws. You should be
able to search for that, and delete the files individually.

Get Vista SP1 and that will fix the problem.
