Will never get a Dell

Aug 5, 2007 9:37AM PDT

I have an Inspiron laptop 1500 (Dell) and in my deleted items folder, when I right click and chose "empty deleted items" folder, my mail won't delete. Has anyone have this problem with Vista Home premium?

Also, I wrote an email to my friend and it did not send, it is sitting in my outbox and after a day or two, try to delete it, it won't delete.

Is this Windows Mail?

You didn't name the e-mail client, but if this is Windows Mail you may want to give the freeware WMUtil a try, letting it clear your outbox and repair the database.

Hope this helps,
John

Dell wrote that?

Are you telling us that Dell wrote the mail software you are using?

Be sure to point the finger at the author.
