However, I'll guess that it's Outlook Express (simply because that's the most frequently used client). If so, make sure that there's nothing you want to keep in your Inbox. (Copy any important mail to another folder). Close Outlook Express. Run a search for the file Inbox.dbx. Right-click on that file and select 'delete'. Restart your PC, open Outlook Express and, as if by magic, you'll have a brand new (totally empty) Inbox.
Repeat to delete, and then recreate, your Trash (or Deleted Items) folder.
