Outlook Express refuses to permanently delete

[Fred G]

My copy of Outlook Express refuses to permanently delete e-mail from the "Deleted Mail" folder. I have the option to auto-clear the "Deleted Mail" folder upon exiting the program selected, and when I exit Outlook Express, I get the following message: "Some of the items in the 'Deleted Items' folder could not be deleted. An error has occurred." Any ideas for a fix? Thanx for your time.

This newsgroup is NOT for Outlook Express which is an e-mail & news
client and a component of Internet Explorer. Outlook is a PIM (personal
information manager) with e-mail and is a component of Office. Outlook
and Outlook Express are not the same product, they are not code
derivatives, they are not siblings, and they are not full and lite
versions of the same product. They are two separate and distinct
products. Repost your inquiry in a newsgroup for Outlook Express. If
your news server doesn't carry newsgroups for Outlook Express than use
Microsoft's news server (news.microsoft.com). If you prefer a web
interface to newsgroups, use Google Groups (http://groups.google.com) or
Microsoft's groups (http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/).

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...;newsgroupsmicrosoft.public.internet.mail.mac
for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to the
Swen virus, all e-mails sent to my actual account will be deleted w/out
reading.

Sorry to waste everyone's time, I'll move this to the appropriate newsgroup.
