Can't seem to delete "Sent" items, even if I open them first. Help?
If I chose the checkbox for "all" and issue a "delete" in my Sent" folder, nothing' happens . . If I chose only one checkbox alonside a sent-item and issue a delete, nothin' happens If I open a sent item and then issue a delete, nothin' happens.
What am I doing wrong? Do not have this issue on other folders, is there something I don't know about the "Sent" folder?
Regards,

Thanks for the quick response . . while the information was invaluable for future references, when I once again tried to delete the "sent" messages, it worked(!?) .. I will keep the information you imparted and if/when it happens again, I will certainly try your solution. Regards,
