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.

  • 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

  • How to remove the elements in the "Deleted items" folder using Microsoft Windows Mail?

    This used to work, but I was not able to remove items from the deleted items folder and it takes a lot of space.  I used to be able to do it and it automatically deletes the items when I closed Windows Mail (it is always set up to do, incidentally, does not yet), but now it does not work. I've tried everything. I used the link at the top of the page coming down and clicked on "Empty Deleted Items Folder", but it does not work.

    I tried to download Windows Live Mail and it won't work on my computer.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Maybe could turn the setting and then turn again. Sometimes it works, but I wouldn't be surprised if she did not help, or if you have already tried.

    Take note of the following:

    1. I've never used only 8 years old, Windows Mail
    2. Windows Mail is not supported.

    The deleted items folder has a clean button on it? This can empty it completely. Another thing to consider is that your e-mail service can remove items deleted periodically. However, as you say, it takes place, so you can delete them manually.

    Alternatively, you can consider changing the e-mail programs. You said that Windows Live Mail did not work. You can try an older version, because I don't think not 2012 works on Vista (based on absolutely no evidence, by the way) another option to consider is Mozilla Thunderbird. If you have Microsoft Office and it includes Outlook, certainly use it.

    That's the only advice I have. If this does not help, I don't have anything else for you.

  • My Windows Live Mail 'deleted items' folder is not empty: error 'UID store failed.

    Separated from this thread.

    What WLM version do you have?

    Have you tried a repair of WLM?

    Select 'Windows Live Essentials' then follow the "repair" options.

    I have the same problem: my 'deleted items' folder will be empty. I tried the proposed repair and that did not work.

    "The messages that I get when I try to empty folder are first"an unknown error has occurred", the second:"some of the items in the deleted items folder may not be deleted"and the third in the Details tab: UID Store failed.

    My version of WLM is 12.

    I also had this problem.  Nothing would delete from a year and half ago.  Once I read THIS reply from Firedog, I started looking for where the destruction of my devices have been mapped to.  Between my phone, my office and my Kindle, (date of the problem started when I bought my new phone) and delete them all three parameters have been mapped in three different places.  Once I changed that and they were all mapped to the same place, the problem has been SOLVED!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • Impossible to get Windows Vista Mail to work since the installation of FireFox

    In recent weeks, been unable to access the Internet or use any messaging service using IE8. Internet Explorer opens not - except in safe mode with network. I spent several hours to solve this problem without success. Then as a last resort, I downloaded and installed Firefox and in normal mode the page Firefox came and I have full access to the Internet and Microsoft Hotmail - however I can't get Windows Vista Mail to work.

    WMUtil is very easy to perform and can fix things.  Especially if you got rid of McAfee.  You may still need to remove your e-mail account and then add again, but it's also easy to do.

    Many people find Thunderbird much more preferable to alternatives to Microsoft.

  • where are the message stored in Windows Vista Mail recipients who do not live in Contacts?

    I like to use the Option. Send: automatically complete e-mail addresses when composing ' option.  Recently, it has become much less useful.  When I start typing in the To: field, it brings up addresses more than just those residing in Contacts.  I can't understand how to clear this cache of addresses everywhere where it is.

    For example, when I type in 'mother' to automatically raise its address, it now shows a correct address (which IS in my contacts) and who is not.  He suggests the following options for recipients:

    <*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">Dad or MOM <*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">(the 'i' is missing from 'gmail'.  Now, I don't know how this gmal on is here and don't know how to delete it.  I don't even think that is anyones email.  It is not in the Contacts under MOM, however, is the right on.  If I double click on the address "Nelly" after selecting it, I can't remove all information.  It gives the problem in his together does not change the chance to 'Add to Contacts' but even do it and then delete the contact.  The only thing I can understand is that there is a kind of address with the contacts cache. I wonder how to clear the email addresses of the recipients of these undesirable.  I can check for finish not automatically emails, but I lose these features.

    Other info: it's just a normal PC usning windows vista mail and using the standard smtp e-mail server of Charter.  I am not connected to any directories active Directory and have only one PC on my local network.
