Outlook Express 6 With Windows 10

[joggerjayne]

Weird behaviour.

On one of my lappys, I have Windows 10, and Outlook Express 6

If I highlight a message, and click "Delete" ...

Instead of moving the message to Delleted Items, OE6 just puts a "strike through" line through the message.

The Inbox is going to start looking pretty cluttered if I can't clear out the old messages.

Any suggestions?

You could try dragging and dropping the message into the trash.

Or even click "move" and select trash.

Oddly enough, neither of those works!

This is weird.

You could try manual messages deletion:
- Select 'Edit'>'Purge Deleted Messages'

and also to auto purge each time you close Outlook Express:-
- Select 'Tools'>'Options' from the menu
- Select 'Advanced' tab.
- Click 'Maintenance'
- Make sure 'Purge deleted messages when leaving IMAP folders' is checked.
- Click 'Close'
- Click 'OK'

Oh, fab, those both seem to work, pinkyboyid.
