Outlook 2003 Beta: Header of non-existing e-mail cannot be removed

[Moritz Quecke]

I still use Outlook 2003 Beta and have got a problem with removing
downloaded headers of e-mails that doesn't exist on the mailserver
anymore (for whatever reason). Is there any way to remove them - maybe
manipulating the .pst file or something?

Outlook 2003 Beta software is unsupported and illegal to use once the
released product is available. Read your EULA.

Milly,

thank you for that legal advice! It's good to know that there's always
someone who reads the EULA. I have just installed the "Teacher and
Student Version". But anyway, the problem exists within my pst-File -
so if you or someone else or Microsoft knows a solution I would
appreciate that.

Is this using an IMAP account?

No, it is a POP3 account.

I found an impractical but though working solution for the problem:

Solution:
1. Create a new data file with a different name than that of the old
one (Properties of Outlook-Link in Start-menu)
2. Keep the old data file
3. Assign your e-mail-accounts to the new data file (so that mail
folders in the new data file are created by Outlook automatically)
4. Open Outlook and make sure that both data files are opened
5. Move all the e-mails except those "orphaned" headers to the new
inbox etc. folders
6. If you have calendar events and other items go the the list mode in
each view (because 5-day mode etc. is unhandy) and move them to the
new data file
7. Close and delete the old data file
8. You got rid of those annoying headers

My next suggestion would have been to create a new mail profile. Glad you
got it sorted out.
