| | Re: Email - Cannot delete items from Deleted Items folder I tried the fix where you delete the "WindowsMail.MSMessageStore" - it did not work at all. Will try this later and see if it has any effect. Thanks.

| | Re: Email - Cannot delete items from Deleted Items folder Just deleting one copy of the file won't work. So go to Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store Folder to find the message store location. Then move everything under that Windows Mail directory to another directory. Then restart WinMail and it will open fresh with nothing in the database. You can then add your accounts and if they work correctly then you can use File | Import | Messages and choose WinMail format and point to the directory to which you moved the files. steve "Rees1995" <Rees1995@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:58147DBE-42E7-4510-A47B-B52CCE055CD3@microsoft.com... >I tried the fix where you delete the "WindowsMail.MSMessageStore" - it did > not work at all.

Just click this link, read the instructions, download the program and you are sorted. www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ Ignore the jargon and try to do things yourself, do not rely on M$ or any one else. Best of luck. -- Regards Steve. MS-MVP. OE. [DTS] UK |

| | Re: Email - Cannot delete items from Deleted Items folder No, there is no fix and its likely to happen again, which is why we tell people just to ignore it. Eventually (no one knows when) a patch will likely be released. Its best just to let it alone if its not breaking the functionality of the program anymore than that. steve "Dan" <Dan@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C22047B7-D6F9-49AB-89E9-CA80DC538714@microsoft.com... > Is there a permenant fix to this problem.
