emails won't delete

I have about 25 old emails that refuse to delete.

I can hit delete or drag to trash, nothing works.

Sometimes they will go grayed for awhile and then back they come but they never leave. help! I hate a cluttered email inbox.

I have a Power Book g4.

In mail, highlight the mailbox on the left that has the email that won't delete, click mailbox on the menu bar, then rebuild. That should get rid of the deleted mail.
