I can not delete certain messages.........I hit delete or try to drag them to the deleted items folder and........no dice.

Anyone know why??????

^It's a conspiracy against dumbasses.

Are they messages received in a web mail account, e.g., a hotmail.com address?

"Anyone know why?????? "

I'll take "Because it's a crappy microsoft product" for $100 Alex.

Is it certain messages or any/all messages that you can't delete?

Didn't you just restore your mail from backup or something like that a few days ago?

If it is any/all messages, check that your mail spool file isn't flagged as "read-only"

Why are you still using Outlook?

#5......Jesus!!! too many questions!!!!

Certain messages WON'T delete.

I'm drunk.

Stop downloading gay midget porn and you will stop having problems. . .

Simple, really . . .

I stuck all of the messages into a folder, then went to where the .dbx files are stored on the hard drive.....can delete them there...........but this is a hassle.

This is an odd problem.

There are NO similarities between the messages that stick.

Pretty weird. And I did NOT import messages to OE.........I imported many to Outlook then gave up because I hate Outlook.

I can see no reason why these particular messages resist deletion.

Got an iBrick?

Use it.

^I'm tempted........I sort of like this computer though!

Aside from Outlook & OE.........can anyone recommend an email program that is simple and doesn't suck ass?

PINE.

^Ok....well that is just a little TOO stripped down.

LOL.

At least you knew what it was (or went and looked it up).

(PS: I could have said mailx...)

I use Windows Mail. It's the successor to OutlookIt came with Vista and seems to work fine even though it's a Microsuck product.

They might have an XP version.
