Yes I did the System Restore to a point where I know I had no problems but the did not work either.
I did find a way to unconventual way of deleting my messages. I creat a new folder, move all messages to that folder, I then can delete that folder with all the messages.
It would be nice if I could go back to the correct way of deleting messages.
Close OE and navigate to the following directory.
C:\Documents and Settings\ ~ your name ~ \Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{********-****-****-****-************}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
Inside that folder you should see a file named Deleted Items.dbx
Rename that file to Deleted Items.old
You should now be able to delete your mail from the deleted folder.
If it works you can go back to that directory and delete the Deleted Items.old file.
Reverend. The Deleted Items.dbx name change may work to empty the folder but I can not get may of my messages to go into the Deleted Items Folder. I emptied the folder a couple of days ago. Since then I can not get anything to go into the folder.
Do you still want me to follow your sugestion?
Thanks
Yep, give it a try.Originally Posted by Kelbrit
Hi Reverend
I went to c:/Documents and Settings/Owner/ Does not have "Local Settings"
I went to /Administrator/ it does have Local Settings and Application Data but it does not have indentities.
I even went and searched files. All the entries C:/Doc etc came up as to the location of Deleted Items.dbx like you said but I can't seem to get to it.
If the folder is hidden I am not sure how to see it.

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools > Folder Options.
On the View tab put a dot next to "Show hidden files and folders".
Click Apply.
You should now be able to see the Deleted Items.dbx
Reverend I am away from my computer for a couple of weeks. I'll give your last suggestion a try when I get back.
Thanks
