Outlook 2007: "Folder is full"

[Amaury Caballer]

Click on outlook while push Ctrl. Outlook open in safe mode and now you can delete all Files and Folders

I am on WIndows Vista and using Outlook 2007. I am getting a "folder is full"
error message whenever I try to delete any email from any folder.

If I try to permanently delete a deleted messahe I am getting " The message
interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart
Outlook."

If you're using a pst-file; what is the size of it?

Is this a Unicode formatted pst-file?
Choose File-> Data File Management-> Double click the pst-file and look at
the Format section. Is Personal Folders File appended with (97-2003)?

Additionally, empty your Deleted Items folder and scan your pst-file for
errors with scanpst.exe

small dialogue box saying 'The folder is full' and that is all.
Coincidentally both sent from the same person however I have been able to
delete other emails from that person. I too have recently updated and
synched my iPhone.

If you're not using an Exchange account, this is an indication that your PST
may be in trouble, since the message won't move to the Deleted Items folder.
Hpolding Shift while deleting bypasses that folder and simply removes the
item directly. I'd recommend emptying the Deleted Items folder, archiving
older items, then compacting the PST. Running SCANPST.EXE (the Inbox Repair
Tool) on the PST would also be a good idea.

If you are using an Exchange account, perhaps the OST is approaching the 2GB
limit.

When I try to delete a folder or move a folder, I get "Cannot Move The Items.

When I try to delete a folder or move a folder, I get "Cannot Move The Items.
The Folder is Full". If I try to rename a folder, I get "Cannot rename '<new
folder name>'. The Folder is Full". I get this even with folders that have
nothing in them.
