Can't delete folders

At times I can't delete non-system folders from Windows Mail. Anyone have
the same problem, and if so what is the solution?

No error messages. Looks like it should work, but the file doesn't delete!

Re: Can't delete folders

Did you try the Microsoft fix:

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

Although that article only mentions Outbox, it works for all mail folders.
