Windows Live Mail folders

Recommended Posts

Upgrading my parents email client from OE to Windows Live Mail since OE hasn't been updated in 6+ years. Installed it and it auto copied all the folders and the POP3 settings. Awesome. It copied over the deleted items, drafts, sent items, and inbox over and put them in the storage folder. I can delete the inbox folder, but it wont let delete the others.(they don't serve any purpose as the client has its set of folders associated with each email account imported). Anyone know how to get rid of these? I searched my hard drive and registry for "deleted items" and couldn't find anything. Googling and will continue.

Please help if anyone knows.

It's inside of windows live mail, therefore unlocker can't be used...

Went to defrag my computer and the top items where none other than folders in my email. Their location:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{73CD141E-D2E6-4704-80E5-B8B6E3157BE0}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

some .dbx files. However deleting them does do anything. Then there are 5 files like this, just with a different sent of numbers:

account{3CADEFEB-DAE5-43E0-9AED-EA97823D7876}.oeaccount.VeriSign.oemigaccount

Instead of verisign the others have:

WhoWhere

Bigfoot

0000001

Active Directory GC

Still looking for any suggestions.
