Hi everyone,
I have had this strange problem for a couple of weeks now,
When I delete my messages they do go, however sometimes when deleting more messages I have recieved
perhaps the day .after, the messages I deleted the day before have returned to my deleted items.
I am experiencing no other problems as far as I am aware.
JUst wondering what is causing this? :huh:

That is strange.
You delete them from the deleted mail folder and they come back? Do you think its redownloading the same messages again?

To be honest with you Rridgely I haven't got a clue,
All I know is messages deleted will sometimes reappear in the deleted box.

Sorry I missed that part. If its showing up in deleted again then its not redownloading them.
To be honest I don't know then. :P

Ever tried thunderbird? :lol:

No I haven't tried thunderbird :P


In c:docs/settings/user/,local settings/application data/identities,when I open this
all dbx folders are there ,if I go to deleted items it says there is 13.0mb.
can i safely delete this folder and will it recreate itself if I do?
Also the inbox folder shows 4.0mb when there is nothing there.

Thankyou Hazelnut for that link.
I now know I can delete the folder safely as it does recreate itself.
