the message could not be deleted

[Frank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM]

I have a message in the inbox that will not delete and tried to mark it as
read and still will not delete.

Even the body of the message is not showing... all that is showing in the
body is

MESSAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED

Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try
again.

You say that you are using Microsoft Vista Mail build 5728 where you find
that?

An old beta version.

Why can't I delete a message from my Inbox, and at the sametime, I can't
forward a message from delete folder for Outbox? I don't subscribe to any
strange stuff, and it's a new Gateway note book, and have a trial version of
MCCafee virus, which I don't think, I really want it or need it? Any helpful
suggestions? Daredoc

McAfee antivirus programs can cause that problem. To prevent causing
it again, uninstall, not just disable, the McAfee program. Norton antivirus
programs can cause the same problem, so don't use them as a replacement.
Someone should tell you about good replacement antivirus programs and
the Microsoft fix for the problem.

I have the same problem, a message in my Inbox cannot be moved or deleted
even having tried all the suggested methoids including removing the preview
pane and trying again, ALT E, Y but to no avail. I would appreciate
suggestions. Dermot

Go to View | Layout and turn off the Preview Pane. Then try to delete it.

You didn't say what you tried.

Download and install this fix, with Windows Mail not running, if you haven't
tried it already:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for messages 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.

Also, what if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of the common ones,
such as most of those from Norton or McAfee, and a recent one from Trend,
keep causing problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately.

This Microsoft fix will do the trick:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090
"Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a
computer that is running Windows Vista"

That page offers two download options. Unless you know for sure
you have 64-bit Vista, use the 32-bit option.

Although only 'Outbox' is mentioned, it will enable removal of stuck
emails from any folder.

This program works great. The phantom e-mail stuck in the outbox was driving
me crazy. Thany you Steve Cochran where-ever you are!!!

I don't know, but there's a fix for stuck messages. Download and install
it with Windows Mail not running:

common antivirus programs such as most of those from Norton or
McAfee, or a recent one from Trend, the problem is likely to come
back, although not immediately, so remember to try the same fix
again.

1. 5728 was a beta version quite some time ago.

2. So you get an error message?

3. Did you try my suggestion above?

4. Did you install this update?
Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer

It also works on other folders.

I have downloaded this WMUtil and fixed my problem about 4 months ago and
today I have to do the repair again!! Do I just Run the Util app from my
desktop? Or do I have to uninstall that and start over again?? Anyone know?
I prefer not to "blow up" pre holiday and hopeful that Microsoft blesses us
with a fix for Christmas. Appreciate anyone's help.

Now, it's recommended that you download and install this fix instead, with
Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

They've finished testing it. 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, tend to cause this problem, although not immediately, so if
you have one of them, you should remember where to find the fix since
you are likely to need it again.

I turned off the Preview Pane and it still didn't work. This must be a
"glitch" with Vista. Any suggestions?

I have a message in my outbox that I can't delete or move. I have contacted
my internet provider and Dell and got resolvement. We tried everything. They
said it was a problem with Microsoft.

My error message states: Message could not be displayed
Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.
