Simple request: How do I delete messages from Outlook
2002 SP3?

The answer is not as simple as the question!

Here's the situation: I emailed a message to 12 people. I
noticed that my contact manager didn't log the emails, so
I resent the emails hoping that this second try would log
the messages. On this second try, as it turns out, I
disconnected my PCMCIA wireless card from my laptop so
the merge/email process would complete but the emails
wouldn't go into the SENT folder. Each email
now 'resides' in the DRAFT folder but I'm unable to
delete them either individually or as a group. When I
attempt to delete the DRAFT email messages, I get the
message "Some items could not be deleted. They were
either moved or already deleted, or access was denied." I
have also reconnected my PCMCIA wireless card AND
disabled the SEND ON CONNECTION in the Options dialog
boxes.

So, since I don't want to resend the emails (either in
duplicate or triplicate or....) how do I delete them?

Gotta be something obvious and simple!!
TIA,
Tom
 
Clear your Deleted Items folder and try again. Also try to delete them by
SHIFT+DELETE

Uniquely, FWIW, 'A' solution was to open all the messages
and then press ESC for each opened message and then
highlight the messages and press DELETE. For some
reason, opening the messages allows them to be deleted.
ARgg.. but it worked.
