-Try the Hotfix in this support file:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

This fix states a specific case but has been known to fix other mail
folders. Also, the present thinking is that the problem is caused by
various Antivirus software misbehaving. The fix may be needed again.

Re: Could not delete messages from deleted items

Try this Microsoft fix:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090
"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista"

It works on other folders in addition to the Outbox.

Hi evomarkx,

This will help show you how to fix the stuck undeletable email message problem in Windows Mail.

The KB941090 update will just fix the problem for now. You must stop the cause to prevent it from happening again. Read the "First" section in this tutorial about antivirus and anti-spyware/adware programs to help prevent this from happening again, then install the KB941090 Microsoft Update in the "Second" section to fix the stuck message problem.
