||| 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.
