deleting mail from IE6
After a flood of Spam HTML messages,I lost the ability to delete E-Mails. At
first I could restart the computer but now that dose not even work. I hit delete and nothing happens. I am running 98 still but was fine until Verizon opened the flood gate. E-Mails are backed up on server just want to try and fix with out a full OS upgrade. Has anyone else hard of this problem?? The verizon news groups do not mention this but suggested asking here. Thanks Andy |

deleting mail from IE6
Are you referring to being unable to delete (any) messages in OE6 (in any
folder)? General OE Caveats: - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm - WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place. - Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AIMatrix wrote: After a flood of Spam HTML messages,I lost the ability to delete E-Mails.
