I've had that problem before with having files set with that permission. I checked my Outlook. But is was never set up. So there was no files. Anyway, go to the "program files" then the outlook directory with the Explorer file manager and look for your file called Inbox.xxx highlight the file. Then right click the mouse and choose "properties". Uncheck any box that is checked. (Like read-only, archive etc) then close down the file manager and open up your Outlook mail. You should be able to delete mail after you have changed the permisions on the file. Another way is to delete the account. Then create a new account with the same settings needed for the new mail. If you don't know the settings. I wouldn't delete the old account though. Either that or download Netscape and have it import the settings from your Outlook and start using their mail program.
