Corrupted "deleted Item" folder in microsoft outlook 2000

[Delon]

Hi all,

I have this spam mail in my deleted item folder which i am
not able to delete it away. When i tried to delete it,
open it, move it to other folder etc ... outlook 2000 will
have an error and will close down and i have to restart it.

I tried lots of methods suggested by some nice people in
here but stil it doesnt work.

Is there any way or how can i have a whole new "deleted
item" folder without losing my other folders and emails as
well ??

Pls help.... thanksss

Yes, per personal experience.
Make a new PST, even customize the name of it for yourself.
Make it the default delivery location.
Move all messages from this problem PST into the new one EXCEPT the deleted
Items folder.
Default folders cannot be "moved" but must have their contents drag-n-drop
into the new PST.
Folders your made can be moved as a folder.
You will lose any Journaling, if you even use that feature.
Remove the "old" pst once empty (FIRST), then delete it's original position
in the HD's file structure (second).
Alter your spam rule if you have one, to move the message to a spam folder,
a folder you made, if it won't delete from there, then you just delete and
recreate the spam folder containing the corrupted messsage.
