I have researched the answers to questions related to items NOT deleting from the Inbox. My issue seems to be different. When I click on one of several messages

 in my Inbox, and select delete, nothing happens to the message. After some time perhaps 30 seconds or so, the spinning pinwheel appears. Once the pinwheel appears the Outlook is frozen, and the only way to recove the program is to "force Quit" Outlook. When I do that, and Outlook starts, the messages I want to delete are still in the Inbox!

Anyone have an answer or a solution?
