Jonzjob Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I have a stupid problem in my Windowz Mail on Vista. When I try to empty the Deleted Mail folder all it does is delete one message. If I then try to hilight all of the messages and delete them I get a message saying "An inknown error has occured" with a hiper lnk to "Get help from the communities". If I leave it and lok back at it again another box appears with the message "Deleting messages...", but nothing hapens and the messages do not get deleted.Any ideas please as this is driving me to dislike PCs even more than I do already!!

tel Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi,Try Tools>Options>Advanced then click on the 'Maintenance' button, tick the box 'Empty messages in the Deleted folder on exit', Close>Apply. Now exit Windows Mail, restart Windows Mail and check the 'Deleted' Folder.I use this setting all the time because when I delete a message I want it deleted, I don't use the deleted folder to store messages.
