Deleted Items NOT showing up in Deleted Items folder

I've been using Windows Mail for 18 months without any significant problems.
Now, when I delete an email from my "Inbox," it does NOT appear in my
"Deleted Items" folder. It just seems to disappear. I did read many of the
earlier posts and have tried the suggestions. I've gone to
Tools>Options>Advanced>Maintenance - the "Empty messages from the Deleted
Items folder on exit" is NOT checked. I've also gone to Current View "Show
all messages" - that's identified/checked. Is there something else that I
can do? I'd appreciate any suggestions. This is the first time I've used
the Discussion Group, so I hope that I'm doing this correctly.

 

The "Show all messages" setting is on a per folder basis, so be
sure you have the Deleted Items folder open when you check that
setting.

 

I did do that before I wrote the original message. I was set correctly, so I
didn't have to change it. Any other suggestions? I'm at a loss and really
appreciate any help you can give me.

 

Follow up: After writing the last message I decided to change the View
setting to something that I didn't want and then went back to the "Show all
messages" setting. It seems to work now! Thank you, Gary!

 

Glad to hear the issue has been resolved. Sometimes 'toggling' a
setting makes it take.

 

This is really for Gary VanderMolen.

I have exactly the same problem as Dot2DotBarb........the letters in m
deleted items folder suddenly disappeared. The folder still lists the
as being present (and how many read and unread in the propertie
section)but they are not displayed. I tried everything suggested in thi
thread but have had no luck. Is there something else I can do?
I installed some critical updates offered by Windows update in the las
few days. Perhaps these had something to do with the sudden onset of th
problem. Should I try a system restore?

Thanks for any help you can give.

 

Your problem is symptomatic of a corrupted message store.
Make sure you have installed Vista's SP1 and SP2 updates.
If the problem continues, try running the various repair functions in
the WMUtil program: http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil

If still no improvement, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Thanks very much! The WMUtil program fixed it.
I wonder if you can help with another (not directly related ) problem.

I cannot install Vista service pack 2.
When attempting to do so I get a ERROR_HANDLE_EOF (0x80070026) code.
I performed all of the troubleshooting steps in Article ID 947366 (Jun
3, 2009 revision 3) How to Troubleshoot Windows Vista service pac
installation issues, without success.

I have also never been able to successfully install Microsoft .NE
Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update
(KB951847) x 86, which has been offered by Windows Update (again an
again) since 2/22/2009.

Other than that I have accepted all offered updates until last wee
when the mail problem began.

If you don't have the answers to these new questions perhaps you ca
steer me to someone who does.

Thanks again.

 

Thank you very much! The WMUtil program fixed it.
I was unable to install service pack 2. Also have been consistently
unable to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 and Family
Update (kb951847) x86 since it was first offered by windows update in
2009. Prior to that the System Update Readiness Tool offered by windows
update also failed to install but Service Pack 1 installed successfully
(both on 10/6/2008.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
