"The selected message(s) could not be moved or deleted & lots of g

yes this morning it began to happen to me

i have 191 messages in the deleted folder that will not delete
i can still receive & send at this time.

i have closed winmail and deleted the deleted folder
restarted but they are still there.

i also get about 200 ghost emails a day

some messages that come in can only be copied to other folders cannot be moved

but will allow me to delete them and then they stay in the deleted folder

it seems lots of people is having a problem

but i have not crashed VISTA as of yet other than the lack of drivers

I have an outgoing email stuck on the Out Folder and it is stopping any
further email postings. Tried all the things listed - no luck. Deleted the
Out Folder OK in Explorer but when WinMail starts up again the new Out folder
still has that stuck email (which says 'unkown error' whatever I do).
Prepared to lose everything to clear it - but how? Reinstal Vista?
