Outlook 2000 - Can't Delete Messages
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. |
