    I have a strange problem that developed 2 days ago

    At the office we have 2 E-Mail accounts at different servers.

    One is fine, the other one will let me download the E-Mails, read and print them including attachment, but I can not delete them.

    I am using Outlook Express. I tried to click on the button on top "Delete "
    And nothing happens, I tried to select it and right click on it and then choose delete, same thing, nothing happens.
    When I try to move it manually "Drag and Drop" to the "Deleted Items" folder it gives me an Error:
    "The selected Message could not be moved. An Error has occurred. "

    Any one have any ideas on what is wrong here?

    What does work is:
    I created a new folder and just called it "DEL" and I can drag and drop the E-Mail there and then delete the new folder.

    I hope it is something I can fix from my computer and don't have to go to the server, because I need someone else to do that and it is not easy to get a hold of that person.

    Regards

    Sven



    Edit:
    Just got an E-Mail from the other server, and can not delete it.
    So, some I can delete others I can not.
    No clue why

    Update

    I found the solution

    I had to delete the Deleted items .dbx and send item .dbx file to make it work.
    I guess I can not store old E-mail past the 2GB mark
