None of my email in this folder can be deleted, I get a message that an
unknown error has occurred when I try to delete one at a time. When I try to
empty the whole folder nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated

Look at this post from yesterday.

The fix has been posted here numerous times. All you need to
do is invest a few minutes in reading the responses.
Microsoft's 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."

Although Outbox is the only folder mentioned, in fact it works with all folders.

Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090
It also works on other folders.

Do not send mail.

I just would like to say I am very thankful for that website for help. I
downloaded the 32 and everything is working now. I had not only the deleted
emails that I could not delete, but it also invaded my inbox and junk
folder, with that message about an error. Now we are emptying the deleted
file again and I am so happy.

To solve the stuck message problem, use this Microsoft fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090

Although it only mentions Outbox, in fact it will remove stuck
messages from any folder.
