Can't Delete Mail

[NRI905]

Long story short - I opened my Outlook Express and saw a notice that said it
couldn't open and perhaps the cause was not enough memory. I deleted a ton of
old mail and then cleaned out my deleted folder. My system locked up and I
had to restart. After re-starting I can't delete anything from my INBOX and
some of files I just deleted in some of my other folders have re-appeared.
Anyone have any sugestions. All of my other programs run fine. I do not have
AVG or Plaxo.

That's quite odd. If you couldn't open it, how did you clean out your
deleted items folder?
Or did it just give that error and open anyway?

Maybe something wrong with a .dbx file where OE stores content?

Outlook express newsgroup is
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general

When I opened OE on Saturday it gave me the notice that my inbox couldn't
open and about the possible causes. So I went into my other folders that I
had for my personal contacts and deleted mail from them, thinking that it
would clear up space as one of the possible causes was listed as not enough
memory. I emptied my deleted mail and then my system froze up. I shut down
and re-started and thats when this problem started. Also, perhaps I should
note here that last month I lost my entire INBOX. I ended up finding a
program online that helped me retrieve the lost files (DBXTRACT was the
program that I used). Everything worked fine after that until Saturday -
thats when I posted my question online. Hope you can help. Thanks

As William said, ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup.
