Hi

Using outlook2007 on WinXP Prof SP2

Outlook works fine however I cant delete any folders when I try I get the
message it tells me to see the folder owner \ administrator to change
permissions, when I right click the folder and go to admin all is greyed out

Pointers appreciated.

Oh im using a PST and just pop mail no exchange server etc

Regards

John Berman
 
What type of folders are these? Have you run the Office Diagnostics?

I am at a loss then as I have not seen this problem with the beta. I have
seen folks not be able to close a .pst folder but not sub-folders.

Have you tried a new mail profile? Configure it to use your same .pst file.
I would not run scanpst.exe against it as there are known problems with the
tool and Outlook 2007.
