I have office for mac 2011. I use outlook for all email situations and have thousands of emails categorized in hundreds of folders.

Never had a problem with my PC, but my mac outlook now won't allow me to delete deleted items and the file has been growing. When I attempted to delete emails from the deleted items folder, outlook told me I had to rebuild the database, which I did.

I no longer get those error messages but no matter how I attempt to delete emails - I can't do it. I have tried individually using the delete box. I have attempted to select all and delete - all to no avail - what can I do?

Additionally,sometmes outlook shows a numerical number on the left next to inbox but inbox has no emails to view - I am forced to close outlook and reopen it to get to those new emails
