  This means that there are more than a certain level of white space in your message store (usually this means that you have removed a number of items).

  Yes go ahead.

  Compacted mail databases are generally safer and more resistant to corruption than the non-compacted.

• Windows Mail - Can't delete emails from any box (Inbox, deleted items, items, etc...).

  In October, my Windows Mail simply stop allowing me to remove anything.  I noticed it first in my Inbox, so I went to my "deleted items" empty to make (thinking that it was question) instead, but found that I could not delete individual emails or use the tool to empty folder.  Windows Mail doesn't allow me to delete ALL emails from ANY folder, so now I need to access my emails on the internet, but it's a pain that my address book is in position.

  I googled solutions and tried a few corrections people recommended when they are unable to remove files from a single folder.  They don't solve anything.  I thought corrupted program so I would update and downloaded Windows Live Mail hoping to fix it, but same problem remains.

  Error message when you try to delete individual reading by e-mail: "Message could not be deleted."  Error message when you exit the program: "certain elements in the"Deleted items"folder cannot be deleted.  An error has occurred. "Nothing specific, but ANY element of ANY folder can be deleted.

  Hello
  I have disabled virus protection and were able to get into my box removed and delte the bad email.

  Thanks for the help

• Windows Mail now automatically deletes messages when opening instead of filing

  I use Windows Mail (Vista - 6.0.6000.16586).

  Suddenly, he began to auto delete all messages I've read.  I need to keep messages for archive purposes or answers later.

  How can I fix it?  I get several hundred messages that just disappeared?

  Thanks for any help.

  Go to the Inbox > view > current view > show all messages.

  See if that fixes it.

  See you soon.

• E-mail: can't delete messages

  I keep getting messages about low disk space - but I'm unable to remove the number of listed e-mails (delete the folder (4000)) then when I try to send my e-mail messages to the folder delete it adds to the already mentioned number.

  1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

  1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & remove Outbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More on http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

• Card trash gone completely out of my account in TB. I can't delete messages more in the Inbox. I created a submap in the Inbox. Cannot delete that either.

  Suddenly, without any intervention on my side the trash of the card disappeared completely from my account in TB. I can't delete messages more in the Inbox. I created a submap in the Inbox. Cannot delete card, that is. How to fix/restore this problems?

  Very strange, usually if there is no "Basket" file, when you restart Thunderbird, it should create a new.

  Try this:
  Open your profile folder.
  Close Thunderbird.

  In "Mail" / "pop.ziggo.nl " - where do you see your files as files.
  Right-click in the empty space and select 'New' > 'text Document '.
  A file called 'New document texte.txt', a 'text Document' will appear.
  Rename this "basket", with a capital T and without extension.
  It will tell if you change a filename extension, the file may become unusable, are you sure you want to change it? Click Yes.

  Close the window and restart Thunderbird.

  Now, try to delete an e-mail message.

• I can not delete messages in Outlook Express 6.0

  Everything worked fine until I started my 'sent box' deletion. There where a lot of messages in there and I was remove from groups of 10 people or more. Some of them had more away in each group. I came to one who has had multiple (I had sent photos). It's where he hung up.

  I moved what I wanted to keep and have used Items.dbx, inbox.dbx, Outbox.dbx, sent, and Deleted Items.dbx, etc..

  All the these are empty now and are in the trash, but still I can't delete messages. I can move their correct. I can receive and send okay

  One who had the photos, I recovered and put in its own box again. I used the .dbx to delete again as well but still does not work

  OE closed when you removed the dbx files? It must be.
   
  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
   
  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
   
  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
   
  With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
   
  Compact all folders as described below.
   
  To avoid this in the future:
   
  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
   
  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
   
  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
   
  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
   
  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

• Windows Mail can receive but not send up to exit application

  Hi and thanks for taking the time to read what I am in need of your help.

  I have a Toshiba P200, Vista Home Premium, Tiscali as my ISP, Norton Internet Security for AV and firewall and access my broadband via Ethernet to a Belkin ADSL router (and occasionally a Siemens router) and I am experiencing some strange events with Windows Mail.

  In short I can receive mail without any problems, but when I send the mail, remaining in the Outbox despite the option send immediately being checked, or by pressing the send/receive button. When I go out Windows Mail mail is sent immediately and is when I restart Windows Mail in the sent messages folder.

  So why I think there is a problem with the laptop. Well, I'm lucky to have a friend who has a non-Toshiba laptop, where all of the above can be replicated. Guess what, Windows Mail sends the message exactly as it should (on my account and on my network, through my router and the ISP, Tiscali etc.), so I conclude that the only difference is that my laptop is a P200.

  I called Tiscali, which confirmed that all my mail settings were OK, POP, SMTP etc, which I expect (because they work on the laptop from my friend), and they advised to contact Microsoft, I did, and since the P200 has pre-installed Vista they say that I need to contact Toshiba, and here I am.
  My P200 has been restored to factory settings, and I tried to get this working without Norton IS and no firewall (Vista and router) but no luck.

  Any ideas would be very appreciated and if I find through other means, I'll post back with the result. If the answer is already out there, please apologize for being too stupid to locate and beg your patience.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  It is typical for support persons. All of them are trying to refer clients and through them. In my opinion Microsoft s reaction is strange to me. They designed the operating system and they should be responsible for the feature.

  I have the Satellite A200 and Satellite P200D and I use Windows Mail on two of them successfully. My laptop is connected to the WIFI router and router directly to the phone line. To be honest, I have configured Windows Mail as you and all of the work are made in a few minutes.

  It is not easy to tell where the problem may be, but I think that there is a problem with some settings of your laptop. Some of them block it somehow. To compare your, with friends laptop is also not the best because it can have completely different OS settings (antivir application, the settings of the firewall).

  Try turning off all the features that can block Windows hotmail to see if there is some difference.

  Windows with Yahoo mail.

  
  
  I use windows mail and put so once I go to windows mail notes are deleted from the Yahoo Server. Now all of a sudden, they go in the trash of Yahoo instead of disappering. I use Yahoo mail for junk and spam of the screen, empty the trash from Yahoo, then open the remaining notes with Windows Mail after the release of Yahoo. This has just begun.

  It is not clear if you use a POP3 server or an IMAP account - it sounds as if it were an IMAP.  I don't know how messages get tossed into the trash from Yahoo rather than be removed.  You could try to remove the account, closing and reopening of Winmail opener and then adding the new account.  This resolve sometimes strange questions.  Also check interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

• I can't delete messages on my blackberry blackBerry smart phones.

  I can't delete messages on my blackberry. Instead, they are marked with a yellow star as a priority. How to solve this?

  Open your Messages folder.  Select the date at the top with your trackpad, and then press the menu key.  Select Delete before and click Ok.  Once you have done this, your messages may still be there.  Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it a few seconds later.  Open your Messages folder once more and see if your rogue messages are still there.

  Let us know if that helps you.
