Vista - Unable to delete imported folders in the storage folder

All,

I recently upgraded to WLM desktop and it looks awesome.

During installation, it automatically imported all my stuff from OE6.
However, my STORAGE FOLDER now displays the generic "Drafts", "Sent Items",
"Deleted Items" folders, which I now want to delete (as they already apprear
in my e-mail account folder). However, WLM desktop won't let me delete the
folders.

I tried deleting the folders in the WLM folder (Explorer), but the program
apparently autogenerates the folders in the storage folder when I start up
WLM desktop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My stuff: Windows XP (SP3)

Those are system folders, which is why you can't delete them. Drafts
and Sent items are used for newsgroup messages (news accounts don't
have their own), and the Deleted items stores items deleted from
folders under Storage folders.

Don't try doing things with folders in your message store in
Explorer - you'll foul up the database, which tries to keep track of
which files are in which folder. Do all your file manipulation in
WLMail using the tools available. If you can't do what you're trying
to do there, it's probably not possible for a good reason.

The 'Drafts', 'Sent Items' and 'Deleted items' folders under 'Storage folders' are necessary folders.

They are all used for Newsgroups for one...

I is not possible to delete those system-generated folders.
Those folders are necessary for newsgroup messages.

Help = leave the first subfolder level in WLM's Storage folders alone(they are part of the program).
