As per the the subject I cannot open my "deleted items" folder in Outlook
Express for some reason. I'm using Win 98SE and have never had a problem in
years of operation. This happened after I deleted several old emails from
that folder. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Click to expand...

You have a corrupt Deleted Items folder. Close OE, in Windows Explorer
navigate to your message store,and delete the folder. OE will rebuild it the
next time you open it.

BTW, this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
 
Thank you Gordon. I was able to delete the folder and all works great now.
