[RESOLVED] WLM 2012 will not delete messages.

[hmmm]

I have windows 7 with WLM 2012.
My wife has windows 8.1 with WLM 2012.

On my machine I have 4 IMAP email accounts (all hotmail).

Last night I added all my 4 IMAP accounts to my wives machine. All works perfect.

This morning I realised that I can not delete any email in any folder on my machine. If I use the short cut of Shift/Del it deletes but does not place it into Deleted folder.

I tried to repair "Windows Essentials" from Control Panel but unfortunately it made no difference.

I was thinking of removing the accounts and re-creating them again. Before I do this may I please ask you guys for your advice.

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer jdc.

I had actually seen those links before....Unfortunately they are no use to my problem.

Did you try dragging the unwanted e-mails to the Deleted folder?

[hmmm]

Yeah, that works jdc.

But the actual icon (X) does not work......right click/Delete does not work either.

It may be time to remove/reinstall Windows Live Mail.

Thank you for your answers jdc.

I removed each account and created them again. Everything is back to normal now.

Thank you.
