    I have files in a folder marked for deletion. Purge items marked for deletion does not remove them.  When I try to delete the folder I get an error message saying: "cannot delete folder ...  possibly it was not removed from your subscription list".   I have verified my permissions are set correctly. Is there a way to manually delete the IMAP folder from my "subscription list", if so how do I do it, or might there be another way of deleting these files and its folder. Thanks !!!

    Hi,

    Can you delete the folder if we log onto the webmail interface of your email account?

    Besides, we may try to unsubscribe to the IMAP folder and then try deleting it to see the result. To do this, please follow:

    1. Right-click on the email address and choose the IMAP Folders command. The "IMAP Folders" window opens.
    Click Query.
    2. Select the desired folder then click Unsubscribe. An icon appears next to each subscribed folder.
    3. Repeat for any additional folders, as desired.
    4. Click OK to close the window.

    Please let us know the result.

    Regards,

    Steve Fan

    Thanks for your response   ....  

    Using the  IMAP Folders and then Query (as you suggest above) resolved my problem .  FYI, under the ALL tab the subject folder/files do not appear but when I selected the SUBSCRIBED tab the offensive folder/file was there and I was able to get rid of it.     THANKS !!!
