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 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
