Actually i upgraded from WM to WLM and now WLM is having this storage folder containing all the mails from WM. As the `Storage Folders` is not linked to any email account, i transfer the mails from it to the appropriate email account folder. But now i am unable to delete this Storage Folder, even i cant delete any item in its heirarchy..

Plz guide me on this..

I don't see any reason to remove it, I use it to move mail into their own folders under that heading, that way it keeps the Inbox clean and uncluttered which is always a bad idea keeping all your mail in one place.

I have message rules set up so that when mail comes in it will go to a particular folder that has been named and set up for it under the Storage Folder.

That way it keeps my Inbox tidy and I know where everything is

Well, that's one way of organizing, but i am more used to look in my current Inbox for the mails, not the Storage Folder. Even more, if you are redirecting mails from inbox of more than one account to a folder in one of your Storage Folder, then you are loosing the feature to maintain multiple accounts separately. Better it would be to use WM then.

Well above is a very subjective discussion, and there could not be one way of organizing that is better than all the others.

Anyway, my main concern is to know, how to remove that Storage Folder, irrespective of what benefit it provides.
