This fix works with some problems with deleting messages, but I don't
know about that one. Download and install it with Windows Mail not
running:

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, cause various problems in Windows
Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a program,
remember where to find the fix - you may need it again.

Did you try both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of this fix,
with Windows Mail not running?

Which one you need will depend on what version of Vista you have.
The other one will just refuse to install.

If neither helps, what if any antivirus programs do you have? Some
of them cause assorted problems in Windows Mail, although seldom
immediately.

Sometimes it just isn't worthwhile to attempt fixing Windows Mail.
You are better off upgrading to the newer Windows Live Mail:

Did you run the McAfee cleanup program?

Sometimes you also have to remove the email account under
Windows Mail and then create it again to finish the cleanup.

If you used the standard install for AVG, it often helps to
uninstall it and then do a custom install where you tell it to
leave out the part that scans email.

Did you use an import into Windows Mail, instead of trying just
to copy the Outlook Express files? Outlook Express won't run
under Vista.
