To get rid of the message for good...drag it to the "Drafts" folder. Then go
to the "Drafts" folder and delete it. Before I deleted the message I opened
it and it said the message was not found. So somewhere, the message was
lost. I don't know what happened, but dragging it to the "Drafts" folder and
deleting it from there worked for me. I hope it works for you.

Same thing happened to me I had three emails in my inbox which I had opened
and read but then found that I could not delete them. I highlighted all three
right clicked on them and chose the "Mark as unread" option. I was then able
to delete them in the normal way. Hope this helps.

I deleted a junk message by right clicking on it and then marking it as
having been read. It was then deleted normally.

Hi Cookie,

I had the same problem but stumbled onto a solution.
If you highlight the email that has the error and then go to the button
under search you can select "Hide read messages" and that will get it off
your screen. It doesn't remove it but at least you don't have to look at it
all the time.

From what I have read about this error the only true way of getting rid of
it completely is to try a restore ( didn't work for me ) or try to uninstall
Windows Mail ( didn't work either ) or do another clean install ( my solution
saved me from having to do that )

I hope this helps ?

What happens if you go directly to the email website? Can you delete the
mail items there? Perhaps if you can and do, you will "free up" an
offending email that is blocking the deletes in WM.

Can't send? Who is your email provider (part of address after the @
symbol)?

Try running the various repair functions in the WMUtil program:

If no improvement, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
