Hello - I accidentally exported my emails into .emlx files. I fortunately was able to recover them by exporting them into an mbox file and then reimporting to a new mail box in my system. However, there now are email 'ghosts' in my inbox - meaning the old placeholders of the emails I accidentally exported. I click delete and they gray out, but won't go away. I need to delete them for good. I have tried all the traditional methods of deleting which has not worked - i.e. deleting, right clicking, dragging to trash, changing 'view' settings. Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Usually rebuilding the mailbox will get rid of those. Had one customer describe them as "ghosties". Just click on the folder/mailbox and select mailbox->rebuild. They should be automatically deleted.
