Microsoft Outlook - The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted

I have set up a new IMAP email account in Outlook. It retrieves and sends mail successfully. However, I am unable to delete any messages in my inbox. When I try, I get the message

The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted

How do I fix this?

1 Answer

What worked for me was setting the root folder path to "Inbox"

  1. Go to File > Account Settings > Account Name and Sync Settings
  2. Set the "Root Folder Path" to "Inbox"

As a side note, I have two email accounts on the same server. One works fine without the "Root Folder Path" being set, the other (the one I'm having issues with), requires the root folder path to be set. No idea why.
