My mail program is Outlook Express and suddenly I cannot delete my unwanted mail. Mail is out of control.?

Question

Delete will work on other tasks, just not on mail. Have tried about 4 different methods. It seems to be blocked.

Answer 1

Try taking them out one at a time. Mine has done this too and that is what I had to do.

Last resort, remove the software and reload it.

Answer 2

Occasionally the folders within Outlook Express get "glitched" somehow. When that happens to me, I've found that I can often rectify the problem by starting up Outlook Express, then click on "File", then "Folder", and then "Compact All Folders". It seems to reset things so that it works properly after that. Worth a try.
