Download and install it with Windows Mail not running: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090 Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee, or a recent one from Trend, cause various problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember where to find the fix - you may need it again. |

The other one will just refuse to install. If neither helps, what if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of them cause assorted problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately. |

| | Re: "invalid STORE command syntax invalid message set syntax" Sometimes it just isn't worthwhile to attempt fixing Windows Mail. You are better off upgrading to the newer Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Garth Arkell" <GarthArkell@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B1685299-B545-437A-9B86-8AF266C7E20F@xxxxxx Quote: >i am using a dell inspiron 530 > windows vista home basic > 1013mb of ram > 120 gb hd > 32 bit os > was using mcafee, but now using avg > windows mail 6.0.6000.16386(vista_rtm.061101-2205) > > I closed windows mail installed the fix (32bit one) and rebooted the > computer, and still can't empty the junk mail folder. > > i have transferred my email account from my old computer to the new one, > could that affect anything? > > can anyone help? > > > > "robertmiles@xxxxxx" wrote: > Quote: >> >> "Garth Arkell" <Garth Arkell@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:7DA8296F-028B-4EA5-B5A2-BACE84931238@xxxxxx Quote: >> >I get the same message. i have tried the hot fix , but there was nothing >> > different, any other suggestions? >> > >> > "Catullus Nacakus" wrote: >> > >> >> I get this message when I try to Delete msgs in the Junk Email Folder or >> >> in >> >> the Deleted Items Folders. >> >> I can delete the messages by manually deleting process. >> Did you try both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of this fix, >> with Windows Mail not running? >> >> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090 >> >> Which one you need will depend on what version of Vista you have. >> The other one will just refuse to install. >> >> If neither helps, what if any antivirus programs do you have?

| | Re: "invalid STORE command syntax invalid message set syntax" Did you run the McAfee cleanup program? <http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=4105&partner=McAfee&type=TS&ia=1> Sometimes you also have to remove the email account under Windows Mail and then create it again to finish the cleanup. If you used the standard install for AVG, it often helps to uninstall it and then do a custom install where you tell it to leave out the part that scans email. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=aff Did you use an import into Windows Mail, instead of trying just to copy the Outlook Express files? Outlook Express won't run under Vista.
