Emails won't delete.

[Deleted User]

I've got some emails in my Junk email folders.

When I try to "delete" them to the Deleted items folders, I get the message "An unknown error has occurred.", and they won't move/delete.

I'm using Windows Live Mail.

Any ideas?

Sounds like IMAP folder/sync issues. Goto the webmail of your email provider and delete them from there (if they're there).

Odd thing is, those emails which go into the Inboxes (ie. those not classed as "Junk") delete no problem :huh:

I am using Live Mail too and had this problem once.

Go into 'Junk' and right click each one, mark as 'Not Junk' and it goes back into your Inbox. WITHOUT CLICKING them, check each box at left of each message and Delete them as one Delete.

I've managed to move and delete a couple Robisere, but for the rest, when I right click and choose "Mark as not junk", I get the same "An unknown error has occurred." message. :mad:

Managed it, by manually dragging them, one at a time, to the Inbox, then deleting them, also one at a time, then deleting them, en masse, from the Deleted items folder.

Oddly, when I was deleting them from the Inbox, in the preview pane, some said "The content of the message could not be found." :huh:
