Outlook 2000 - Can't Delete Messages
What size is your .PST file (assuming you're using a .PST and not an Exchange
mailbox)?

Hi,
I will start by saying that I am a horrible email manager, and have over
11,353 messages in my inbox. I know, I know.
I have OL 2K installed, and it's up to SP3. Any message from 4/6/06 or
earlier cannot be deleted from the system. I get the old "The messaging
interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persits, restart
Outlook."
If you were to send me an email right now, I would be able to delete it
without a problem.
I restarted Outlook a billion times. No diff.
I rebooted the computer. No diff.
I ran scanpst.exe at least 5 times. No diff.
I made sure my deleted items folder is empty. I emptied my sent items
completely, and dumped them from deleted items. No diff.
I tried to archive older items, intending to create archives for each
calendar quarter. On the first attempt, I got a message saying an error
occurred during the archiving process. I still get that no matter what I
try to archive.
My inbox thinks that there are 8,082 unread items, which is incorrect. I
know this because as I deleted unread items that arrived after 4/6, the
number never changed.
Any suggestions? This is maddening . . . . and I do have messages that I
want to keep, so blowing away the PST and starting all over is something I'd
like to avoid.
Thanks in advance.
