Cannot delete or move certain email   
We have an Exchange 2000 Server.  All of our clients are using Outlook 2000 
as their mail client.  We have one user that is unable to delete an email 
from a particular vendor.  When you try to delete or move email from this 
sender the pop-up comes up with Unknown Error.

It is only mail from this particular sender.  There is nothing more than a 
small dialog box with Unknown Error with the Warning Icon.  The user doesn't 
have their mail in a PST and the error occurs even when I access the mailbox 
through my own Outlook after giving myself full rights to the mailbox.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

RE: Cannot delete or move certain email   
Hi JTT,

Thank you for the input.

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: One message cannot be 
deleted in the user's mailbox. If I have misunderstood, please feel free to 
let me know.

As the issue appears on the particular user, I sugggest you first use the 
Information Store Viewer (MDBVU32) tool to delete the corrupted message. To 
do so, you may refer to the following steps: 

Note: Please back up the mailbox before doing so. 

1. Start the MDB Viewer (Mdbvu32.exe) on an Outlook client. You can get it 
from the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3D1C7482-4C6E-4EC5-
983E-127100D71376&displaylang=en

2. At the MAPILogonEx(MAPI_LOGON_UI) dialog box, click OK.

3. At the Profile dialog box, select the proper profile.

4. In the MDB Viewer Test Application dialog box, click MDB, then click 
Open Message Store.

5. Click the mailbox profile <servername DS>, click the Best Access option 
(if it is not already selected), and then click Open.

6. In the MDB Viewer Test Application dialog box, click MDB, and then click 
Open IPM Subtree.

7. In MDB Viewer, select the proper folder.

8. Choose the problematic message, and choose lpFld->DeleteMessages() in 
the Operations Available box. And Click Call Function. You may also delete 
the entire Sent Items folder.

9. Quite MDB Viewer.

If you encounter problems in deleting the messages from MDB Viewer, please 
recreate the problematic mailbox using the following instructions:

1. Use Exmerge tool to export mailbox to PST file. 

To use Exmerge, refer to the following article:
174197 XADM: Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge Program (Exmerge.exe) 
Information
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=174197

2. Open the PST file from some other Outlook client to verify if we can 
access inbox in the PST file.

3. If the PST file is good, go to ADUC (Active Directory Users and 
Computers), right-click the problematic user and then click Exchange tasks. 
Select remove exchange attributes.

4. Right-click the user again and then click Exchange tasks. Select create 
mailbox.

5. Import PST back into mailbox using Exmerge or Outlook.

Hope this helps. Have a good day!

Best Regards,
Alan Sun

RE: Cannot delete or move certain email   
Alan-

We will give this a try.  The odd thing is that it's only emails from this 
particular sender and it's more than one email.  However any email from this 
sender is not allowing us to delete it.  From what I can gather it's an 
calendar event from Notes that has been sent as an email.

Re: Cannot delete or move certain email   
I had a similar problem and I agree, the mdbvu will work, but try also using
owa to view/delete the message. We had a travel agent whose email format was
really weird and deleting/opening using Outlook would hang the client but
using OWA it was a snap. And easier than the mdbvu!
