  • Loss of the deleted items folder

    When I delete a mail from my box as planned and according to my work e-mail e-mail moves to the deleted items folder. However, when I log in the e-mail message has disappeared from deleted items and I can't get it back. I thought it must be something to do with the properties of my deleted items folder or maybe it is set up to remove items permanently when you disconnect However despite many attempts I can't find where it shows what I can change the settings. Please help because I lost some important emails. Thank you

  • Where is my deleted items folder?

    I have a new e-mail account in outlook express.  My personal folders are Inbox, sent messages, drafts, and trash.  I do not have a deleted items folder, or I'm not.  When I delete messages, I don't know where they're going.  How can I create a deleted items folder?  My old e-mail account with Shaw had a deleted items folder but this new account with Telus does not for any reason any.  The two accounts ran outlook so I don't know what the problem is.  Help, please!

    Unfortunately, very few use IMAP, if there aren't very many experts inside.  I had never used it before, but Bruce encouraged me, and I found that I could create one in my area, so I did.  I also did a deleted items folder.  (Note that there is no here too: http://help.seattleserver.com/imap-setup-outlook-express/)  What I tried to log on to the server via webmail and then add a folder of items deleted on the server.  Then, in OE, go to tools | The IMAP folders and reset the list.  Then you should have a file deleted in the list of folders.  After that make sure that you have set to display the Inbox | Current view | Show all messages.  Then when a message is deleted, a line is drawn through the message in the message list to indicate it has been marked for deletion and it should move to the deleted items folder when folders are re-sync.

    See if that helps any.

  • Windows Vista Mail - Unable to remove deleted items folder

    I show 894 messages in my deleted items folder.  When I click on this folder I don't see any messages.  When I right click to empty deleted folder, I get an error message - some items in the folder "Deleted items" may not be deleted - an error has occurred.

    What I see - when I go in the folder items that are removed in the lower left corner, it says "0 0 messages reading".  If the folder is empty, but how can I get rid of the number in brackets - 894?

    Also would help compaction?  If so, please tell me where to go to do it.  Thank you.

  • Windows Vista mail. Impossible to delete some items from the deleted items folder.

    I can delete the new entries, but there are a few video fwded causing w/message does not. the Explorer did the same thing.

    In Windows Mail, select 'Tools', then 'Options', then choose the "Advanced" tab (a-wing) and then choose 'Maintenance' and check the 'Empty messages from the deleted items folder' box leaving

    This will remove them those ALL - not only some that selections but he should get rid of those who you are having problems with at the same time.  I don't know how just select the few with videos.

    I hope this helps.
