Such problems are best addressed by the
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail forum but...
You've run into a known Windows Mail bug.
Microsoft is currently not offering fixes for Windows Mail,
but they have released what they call a replacement known as
Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas
If you use Norton or McAfee, consider replacing it with AVG or Avast4.
You can empty your junk e-mail folder by selecting one item, them pressing
CTRL+A to select them all and then pressing SHIFT+DELETE.
If you get an error, there is a very simple and easy solution for the
Outbox, provided the user is willing to carefully Read and Follow simple and
easy instructions. http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx

The only other suggestion worked for me, but it takes time. I repeatedly
used the Empty but it only removed a few messages at a time, sometimes only
one. After taking the time, I have not had the problem return.
