Vista - Can't delete messages from the "deleted items"

10-09-2008

In Windows mail, nothing happens when I click on "empty deleted items" or
when I try to delete them separately. I get the message "Unknown error", and
sometimes it says "deleting messages", but nothing happens.
How can I delete those messages?
