How do delete a mistakenly-created "outbox" folder?

more options

I stupidly created an "outbox" folder in my main folder (not the local folder, which already has an outbox). Now it won't let me delete the new outbox folder -- and deleting the "outbox.msf" file doesn't work either, as you probably know. How do I delete it?

Thank you!

Does this map returns without another upcoming problems?


Try moving the outbox folder to an untitled newly created folder.

Mail back if this fails.

The outbox is stuck in the main folder and a solution must be found to prevent this. And solve it.

One moment please.


Can you send me a picture of the problem please. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
