microsoft mail problem

[Jeroen Elias]

To all Outlook Express users:

If you are using Outlook Express, I can tell you there is another "danger" 
when using OE.
Microsoft is not very clear about this, but recently I heard about a 2GB 
file size limit
to any of the OE folders.
I use Outlook Express for managing my private e-mails, and so does my wife, 
using her own profile.
One time her mailbox got too large, being almost 2GB in size. I didn't know 
about this limit back then.
OE started to behave very wierd. New e-mails got into her Inbox, but OE was 
unable to finish off and
removing the e-mails from the POP box.
Exiting OE and restarting it resulted into a "no items to show" in the Inbox 
:-(((
The file exceeded the 2GB limit! There is no way you can get OE to open this 
folder again, except using
some other "recovery" utility somewhere from the internet.

Perhaps this is the cause of the "Deleted Items" folder in the message 
below.
Try to "Compress" the folder first and go on from that.

Kind regards,
  Jeroen Elias

I am having a problem cleaning out my deleted items folder...when I do, I
get a message stating "an unknown error has occurred"...any ideas?

Many thanks

    Try deleting just a few items out of the "deleted items" folder at a
time and see if that works.

     You don't mention your version of Windows, nor your version of Outlook
or Outlook Express, but you will probably end up having to use one of the
mail folder clean-up tools.  They are all documented in the support section
of Microsoft's web site.  Search by selecting the version of mail client you
are using (IE; Outlook 2003) for "Repair" or "inbox repair tool".
