Unable to delete / empty my deleted mail box
I used to be able to right click on the "deleted items" folder in my mail box
and get an option "empty deleted items" and could permanently delete the items. Now when I try this function I get an "unknown error" message and it will not let me delete them. |

Unable to delete / empty my deleted mail box
If any messages can't be deleted, apply this Microsoft fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090 Although that article only mentions Outbox, it works for all mail folders. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "gsinnc" wrote in message ...

Unable to delete / empty my deleted mail box
Thanks Gary !! That worked great. I was able to download the fix and was
able to delete the messages. Only one remaining issue .... in the Deleted Items folder there is a 'right click" feature to "empty deleted folder" where with one click you can empty the deleted folder completely. This feature still does not work. I do not get an error ... it just does not empty the folder. I have to delete the messages in the Deleted Folder by highlighting them and hitting the DELETE key. Any suggestions. Of course now this is a minor issue as I can at least manually delete the items.

OOPS ........... it seems to be OK now. Once I manually deleted ALL the
items in the DELETED folder any new messages I placed into the deleted folder seem to delete with the Empty function! Thanks again!! You have been a big help! "gsinnc" wrote: Thanks Gary !!
