When I open an email in deleted mail folder I get the messaage "Message could not be displayed." At this point I cannot delete this email. The following message comes up when I try to delete this message "Windows mail encountered an un expected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disc space and try again." How do I empty this folder?
View 6 RepliesI despair. Until recently I was running OE on Windows 98 and I regularly had problems with this same issue. I've gone onto Windows Mail with Vista and everything seem to be fine for the first month deleting mails en masse until now. I've got 299 items in my deleted folder and I can't empty it other than
by deleting one at a time.
I inadvertently deleted a Folder is there any way I can restore the folder and its contents? I do not have a backup of my mail.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Vista. Approximately 5 days ago, I tried to Delete my Deleted Mail Folder and it won't delete. I have to delete every message separately. I downloaded the 32-Bit Version 941090 package yesterday, it still does not work. I did have an automatice update a few days ago, and I am beginning to think that is when it stopped working properly.

This happens with the card from my digital camera and also with the small card in my cell phone which I have to insert into a SD holder. I know I must have clicked something that was a no no. Is there any way to fix this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using Windows Mail for 18 months without any significant problems.
Now, when I delete an email from my "Inbox," it does NOT appear in my "Deleted Items" folder. It just seems to disappear. I did read many of the earlier posts and have tried the suggestions. I've gone to Tools>Options>Advanced>Maintenance - the "Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit" is NOT checked. I've also gone to Current View "Show all messages" - that's identified/checked. Is there something else that I can do? I'd appreciate any suggestions. This is the first time I've used
the Discussion Group, so I hope that I'm doing this correctly.
I sent my temporary internet folder to the recycle bin and deleted it. There are no cookies in my view file on the control panel even after visiting sites. Is there any way to add a temporary internet folder that tracks cookies or are they being stored anywhere else?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have three Web based e-mail accounts. One of them is a good 'Google Mail' account. It is different to the other two accounts in the way that it does not have a 'Deleted Items Folder' as such. What the account contains is:
'Google Mail'
'All Mail'
'Drafts'
'Sent items'
'Spam'
'Starred'
'Trash'
Recently I signed up to a Website to receive their news literature in the form of an e-mail. I have since undersubscribed to the Website so that they may not send me any more of their newsletter e-mails. I have three of their e-mails all in the row in the 'All Mail' folder. I have tried deleting all three of those e-mails and they disappear at first. When I go to another folder and then come back to the 'All Mail' folder, the three e-mails are back again. I have tried to get rid of them many times but every time I go back to this folder, they are come back again..........
I have right clicked on folder and selected "empty deleted items folder", but am unable to empty it in one click.I have to delete each item one at a time to empty folder,and obviously this takes some time,as the inevitable question " are you sure" appears before I am allowed to do this.Does anyone have the solution?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi deleted the 'desktop' folder by accident from the My Documents window (or just above my documents folder)...
Now the 'Desktop icon' at the top of the folder list shows a different set of shortcuts/folders (incl. RecycleBin, Network etc etc)... the now 'yellow' desktop folder that is under the 'user' is messed up.
I've attached 2 screen shots because i'm sure my explanation is poor. Anyway, this is driving me crazy - can't figure it out. I've been messing around with it for hours - at one point i had 'desktop' with about 15 'desktop' subfolders......
I know there are many threads on the above and have tried downloading the KB041090 fix. I do use 32bit Vista Home s/ware. However, it says that this programme fix is not applicable to my system....so I also tried the 64bit patch and this gave me the same response. Everything was running just fine until about a week ago....
I do use Norton Antivirus, but it expired about a week ago and I have reinstalled it today - neither action seems to have made a difference to the fix issue. I currently have about 200 e-mails that I could do with getting rid of...
1. I lost almost all of my contacts for no reason-I need to retrieve them!
2. I cannot delete all the items from my deleted folder. I've tried downloading off support.microsoft.com and when I do it I get a message "the update does not aply to your system".
Can you restore a message once it has been deleted from deleted items folder?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Vista Home Basic and out of nowhere I realised there was a 'Desktop' folder in the Favorites tab on IE. Since I have no need to have all my desktop shortcuts messing up the arrangement of my fave webpages so I went ahead and deleted it. Warning bells should have gone off in me head when File Operations was asking for permission but I persisted. And now all the files that I have kept on my desktop are gone i.e. pics, pdf, resumes!! I have checked the Recycle Bin but they are not there either. I tried using a software that downloaded online -> WinUndelete but it made me more confused.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently made a back up of all my Windows Mail folders. Looking through them, I was amazed to find that the Deleted Items folder still contains a copy of every single file that I had ever deleted. I had thought that once the preview screen showed "There are no items in this view" all the files would have been removed from the computer especially since the option to "Show All Messages" is selected. Is this a feature of Windows Mail or is there some setting somewhere that I need to tweak to avoid this? If I emptied the folder manually would this cause any problems?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running OL2007 on a Vista Ultimate machine. All has been well for the past year, but lately, I have run into the problem described below. It seems to happen most often when I address an e-mail to multiple recipients. It shows stuck in the outbox, although it appears that most of the time it does get sent. I often get a message to the effect that "Sent Items folder is full, delete some of the messages" (it doesn't have any more messages in it than usual, I purge them regularly).
Then, I find I can't delete the offending file. I get a simple "Folder is full" message. Also, I cannot delete any files from my deledted folder I now have 2090 files stuck in my deleted files, 6 emails stuck in my outbox. I cannot rely on sending any email from my home computer and now am relying on my lotus notes at work. I have contaced Dell - no help. I have observed all information in the discussion groups, The Intel IT people who are my neighbors have ried to address this. I am one of many experienceing this problem - even Intel staff have the same uncorrectable problem. Could Microsoft work on this issue ASAP as it is forcing me to use other email addresses and doesn't allow me to continue to work form home....
I had a similar problem where two virtual music folders in $USERPROFILE% were created, but there was just one in C:\Users$USERPROFILE% I believe that this event occurred because I initially accidentally moved the music virtual folder in $USERPROFILE% to another area, and the 'MUSIC' link in the start menu located it there. However, at the time, since i have only been using Vista for 3 days now, i did not know that virtual folders existed. Thus, thinking that another music folder had been created, and was taking up space in my hard drive, I subsequently deleted the music folder. Consequently, the location of the music folder did not work, but when i tried to fix that up, two virtual music folders showed up in %USERPROFILE%, and only one appeared in C:\Users$USERPROFILE%. I thought this was a registry problem, and decided to take a look at: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionExplorerUser Shell Folders
I also looked at the shell folders as well. But, as I am not proficient in registry files, I did not do much except just check that the link for the music folder had not been tampered with, and was showing correctly, $USERPROFILE%Music. By the way, if i had deleted the virtual folder, it would delete the two folders in $USERPROFILE% and the single folder in C:\Users$USERPROFILE%. So, after deleting, relocating, and reading many posts, I believe that I fixed up the problem by following Dzomlija advice. I had also turned off 'Indexing'. So, i turned indexing on, and let the laptop run for the night. Then, i deleted the virtual music folder (there were 3), and rebooted. For some reason, Vista managed to recognise that the virtual folder was missing, and just created it, and my problem was fixed! Although I am still trying to understand Vista, I have learnt that it is not a great idea to always manually edit things.I have created this post because I do not want someone to spend 10 hours on fixing up virtual folders like me.
