I have been trying to figure out how to delete "deleted items", this great
new Windows Mail isn't very cooperative. I have tried 2 ways:
1. right click on "deleted items" then click the 'empty deleted items
folder',
2. left click EDIT, then click 'empty deleted items folder'.
Either way it only deletes one email at a time rather than empty the entire
folder. Currently I have 203 emails in 'deleted items' and I'm not going
through this 203 times to empty it. Therefore, I've stopped using my great,
new HP Compac computer with this wonderful Vista for email and back to using
my old computer with XP and Outlook because at least it works. Any
suggestions on how to make it work? By the way, did I happen to mention I
really hate Vista????

Try the new Microsoft fix:

Although it only mentions the Outbox, it actually works for
all folders.
