If I try to move or delete an email I get a message - "The message interface
has returned an unknown error. If this problem persists restart outlook."  I
have restarted outlook several times and also re-booted my PC several times.
Still to no avail I cannot send or receive emails now either.

While Outlook is closed, rename the Outcmd.dat and *.srs files, then open
Outlook again and see if this helped. If not, please post back.
Also, please post what version of Outlook you're using. If you have reached
the limit on your PST, that could cause the error as well.

Renamed the dat and srs files, still getting  the "unkown error" message.
What can I do if the limit of the PST is reached?

Out of curiosity, what version of Outlook are you using and what email
environment are you in (Exchange, POP3, etc.)?

For nearly every Windows application in existence, Help>About tells you what
version it is.
