Re: can't empty "Deleted Items"folder in Outlook

Although KB941090 only mentions Outbox, in fact it works for all
mail folders. If no improvement, I suggest you upgrade to Windows
Live Mail: http://download.live.com/wlmail

Thanks for the link, but that's not the problem. I delete out of the inbox
and then try to delete out of the deleted items folder to empty it and it
won't empty. The email will also reappear back in the inbox, but with an
error message on it that makes it unreadable.

I have been having a problem for some time that won't allow me to empty my
deleted items folder in outlook express with Vista. Help! Also when I
delete out of my inbox and close outlook, upon reopening outlook, all the
emails come back again. Is there a solution to this?
