mail won't 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.
Do you have any suggestions? (It gives me an error message : "an unknown
error was encountered")

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

It also works on other folders.

Is your computer system ready for Vista?

Microsoft has a fix for that problem:

Although the article only mentions Outbox, the fix will enable you to
delete 'stuck' emails from any folder.
