I have several messages that appear in the unread message folder. When I
click on them I get the following response ... "Cannot open this item. The
message you specified cannot be found."

How do I delete them from the folder? Just hitting delete doesn't work.

Thanks,
BT

Refresh the folder (View>Refresh). Do they still show? In what folder does
the Unread Mail folder say they reside?

Tried refreshing folder and emptying deleted items. They're still there.
It doesn't list the folder they're in. The heading is Date: Older.
Thanks

I have the same problem.

The undeleteable message is in "unread" and resides in
"Newf-L" folder according to the information in the unread folder.

I've tried to refresh with no change. I've also looked in the Newf-L folder for this message but can't find it there. I've also deleted all messages in the delete folder.

Any suggestions.

Could it be a Read Receipt? Can you delete or change the properties of the
NewfL folder--whatever that is? I found this--Newfoundland mailing list

What problem is that? You didn't quote the message to which you think
you're replying so we have no idea of your message's context. You don't
state your Outlook version (but it's presumably OL 2003 or 2007, since it
has a Search folder) and yuo don't state your data store type (Exchange
mailbox or PST).

Did you try deleting it from the Unread Mail folder? Did you try a
permanent delete (Shift-Delete)? Did you try using the Inbox Repair Tool
(SCANPST)?

Sorry but I thought that the "quoted message" was automa5tic.

Problem: I have a message sitting in the "unread" folder that I can't delete.
I'm useing Outlook 2007 on a Vista machine.

The message resides in a "Newf-L" folder according to the information in the unread folder.
