it is impossible delete old e-mails from eliminated mail: i see a "disowned
error". What can i do?
 
If these are not ib the Outbox and you are not willing to just ignore them,
the only way is to delete both copies of the database (which does not
contain the messages, but only references to them) and let WinMail rebuild
it.
First close WinMail, then use Task Manager to make sure there are no
instances of it under applications or processes.
Then click Start | Search | Advanced Search
Check the box to include non-indexed, hidden and system files.
In the Name field type WindowsMail.MSMessageStore and click the Search
button.
It should show you two copies. Delete both of them and re-open WinMail.
WinMail will work in the background and recover all of the messages that are
really there.
