I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH OUTLOOK EXPRESS .....THIS WINDOWS MAIL IS RIDICULUS

I agree-I never had a problem with outlook express either. I don't know why
Microsoft thinks they have to fix something that isn't broken

Your first assignment is to turn on the spell checker, and unlock the Caps Lock key.

Have you tried marking the message as read and then deleting it? That's
what I've been doing and so far it has always worked. Other things:

Try repairing the database with WMUtil from www.oehelp.com

There are two copies of WindowsMail.MSMessageStore, One in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Microsoft\Windows Mail
and one in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Backup\New
If you delete both of these the database will be rebuilt. However, while no
messages should be lost, some may be downloaded again and you may lose some
record of which have been read. I recommend that you only do this when they
are causing you trouble, like when they are in the Outbox. Otherwise I now
just mark them as read and ignore them.
