Deleting messages from IMAP account

When I try to delete all messages from a IMAP folder, WLM complains that
operation fails with error "Protected mailbox" even though I'm not trying to
delete the actual folder. WLM is 1606 and I'm running Windows XP SP 2.

Re: Deleting messages from IMAP account

oh! actually I had this problem until yesterday, when wlm started acting up
(I used several betas and upgraded to final).
I uninstalled wlm yesterday, deleted registry entries and local message
store... and instsalled from scratch.
the problem is gone now.
