How do I delete from full Outlook box- shift+delete won't work

[angler]

I use Outlook 2003; got message 'box full,etc... use shift delete to remove
unwanted items'. This doesn't work, nor does regular delete, so I can't move
or delete anything, and box remains full. Help please.

Do you mean nothing gets deleted within Outlook?
What type of account. pop, imap. exchange or?

See replies to Xeltek's post over in microsoft.public.outlook. Same
problem there.
