Look at Account Settings -> Server Settings in the middle of the page "when I delete a message:" If you have chosen "Move it to this folder: ..." does that folder exist? If you don't have a 'Trash' folder, let me know.

For Account Settings -> Server Settings in the middle of the page "when I delete a message:" try these:

  1. 'Just mark it as deleted'
  2. 'Remove it immediately'

Do either of those work?

Tried both of these neither work , thanks again. The only way I've found that I can delete them is by going into our main talktalk server.
