how do you delete a message header?

That's pretty much it. I have some headers that were downloaded, then I
discarded them off the server, now I can't delete them from Outlook. Any
ideas?

What version of Outlook and what type of account?

What happens when you try?

1. The headers, which have been marked for discard and have strikethrough
type, are not discarded and a new one is downloaded.
2. The current e-mail -- all of it -- downloads, including new headers of
the same old marked-for-discard messages and duplicates of messages that have
been received already. (The duplication is another problem: Is it the real
problem?)
3. A message panel says this:

Task 'mail.tod-hunter.net - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210C) : 'Some
messages you marked for download are no longer available on the server.'

Now what?

How do you perform the discard? Edit>Purge Deleted Messages?

Please answer this post soon because I have exactly the same message and I DO
NOT HAVE any PURGE deleted items options! I mark headers for deletion and
then they just sit there. Can't open them because now they're not available
