Hi Brent,

Chances are the folders (.dbx files) in question are corrupt. Click File \
Folders \ Compact All Folders. It may take a while, depending on how many
messages you have in the folders.  Then try to move / delete again.

If this doesn't work, go to this Web site for additional suggestions,
methods and preventive measures:
