I have no problem deleting from the Inbox, but have problems deleting
permanently from the Deleted Items folder. Some of the Deleted Items can be
deleted permanently, but the list of those that can't is increasing daily.
Highlighting messages in the Deleted Items folder produces a "Message could
not be displayed" notification where the content of the message should
be...........and any attempt to delete it produces "An unknown error has
occurred".
