DJ, I may not have a solution to your problem but I had a similar problem and finally stumbled on right clicking the folder in question and deleting the items one at a time. If this work around works for you it might be worth everyone's while for you to post back and save others from the same headache. All the best, DH"DJ" wrote:

I was able to delete about 60 emails that way. Thank you for your input. Still need to get the oher 120 deleted and the one stuck in the outbox. DJ "Dave Horne The Netherlands" wrote:

Do a newsgroup search on MessageStore. That should bring up several posts with the solution. Unfortunately the solution is not very simple, and it may bring only temporary relief. If you are not comfortable doing the type of technical work required to replace the MessageStore, you might want to look into using an alternate email program for now, or use your ISP's webmail access.Gary VanderMolen "DJ"

"DJ" Are these messages marked as having been read? Frank Saunders, MSMVP OE/WM fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.

Part of the problem in my case was Spyware Doctor, which clogged everything! Now removed and all seems well!"pat3204" wrote:
