[GUI-Talk] deleting folders in Outlook

Sat Jun 9 14:15:22 UTC 2018

Hello,

I like to copy my e-mail messages that I want to keep, and paste them in some directory outside of Outlook.  

I also change the filename of the message by adding the date of the message in front of the standard message file name.  For example:
2018-06-08 Re_ _GUI-Talk_ deleting folders in Outook.msg

This sorts the messages in time order.  I do not save messages in Outlook.

Regards

Rob,

To be sure that everything is working, try to create a new folder and then delete it.  If that works, it is possible that that you are using an IMAP connection or an Outlook Exchange connection.  In these types of connection, your computer is synchronized to folders that are on your mail server.  It is possible that the folders you are trying to delete are required to exist, or that they must be deleted from the mail server itself using a different approach.  It is impossible to guess at what the case may be, though, without more specifics.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I did everything that was suggested, but for whatever reason, all of the folders that I deleted have come back. I tried to delete them again, & they won't delete.

Using a screen reader, right-clicking with the key on the numeric pad may not work. Instead, use the "context menu" or "applications" key after you have the folder highlighted in the tree view. I think that will work.
