I can't get my mail messages out of the inbox window.

When I hit delete the message does show in the delete
folder but the message is still visable in the window.

It will not let me move the messages out manually and the
delete funcition works on all other areas of Outlook.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

chris

You might have a corrupt Inbox. Try creating a new Identity and
importing your Inbox messages and seeing if you can then delete them. If
you can, then in your old identity, move any messages you want to keep
out of the Inbox. Close OE. Delete the file Inbox.dbx Restart OE and you
will find a new Inbox has been created.

BTW it is NOT a good idea to keep messages in the default OE mail
folders as these are very prone to corruption. Move them to folders you
have created.
