Can't delete emails
Recently, I have been unable to delete emails from my inbox.
I usually just delete them with the delete key, but this is no longer working. Nothing happens when I hit the delete key. I have also tried to delete the emails by right clicking on the email then deleting, but this does not work either. I have also tried to amnually move the emails to the delte folder but the program will not let me do that. HELP |

Go to View/Layout/untick Preview Pane and see if you can't delete the email that way. Then move everthing you want to save to user created folders that are sub folders to Local Folders. Alias |
