Why cant I delete or move emails in outlook express?

Question

I'm not sure whats going on but since the weekend, I havent been able to move or delete emails in outlook express. Every time I try to delete, nothing happens and when I try to move an email to the delete mails folder it tells me an error has occurred.

Can anyone help please?

Was a pain but basically you have to rebuild the dbx files

Answer 2

carry down the ctrl key even as determining on each and each and every merchandise to be deleted or moved. basically launch the major once you've finished determining on each and every thing to be deleted or moved. I also favor to apply the flow function on the right click menu. i have had waaaaaay too many frantic human beings freaking out (say that 5 circumstances quickly) because they by possibility dropped emails into yet another folder or the recycle bin & couldn't discover them even as they in simple terms dragged & dropped.
