Re: Can't Delete Message in Outbox
I don't mean to be ignorant but I'm confused. Where do I move the whole mail
folder to and are we talking about the entire WinMail folder or just the
Outbox folder?

When you say it will create a new store, what do you mean? And if I have
moved my messages somewhere else, how do I open them and drag them into
WinMail? Through Windows Explorer? Sorry to be so uninformed about this.
