I finally got the answer to how to delete e-mail In Windows Mail when you get
that error message.
1) Click on the e-mail you want to delete
2) Hold down the Shift key
3) Hit the delete key
4) A window will ask you if you're sure you want to permanently delete
the(se) message(s)
5) Click OK and it is gone. It won't even go to the Delete folder.

If you want to delete more than one, hold down the Ctrl key, select an
e-mail, then select any other e-mail you want to delete, then go through the
rest of the steps.

TA DA!!

account but even this has not worked....

I don't know what to say. This worked perfectly for me. You do have Windows Vista, right? If not, maybe that's the difference. I have Vista and HATE it!

The KB941090 article contains additional suggested fixes for
when the primary fix fails. However, those fixes are very
tedious and labor-intensive, and they don't guarantee that
the problem will not recur. I recommend you upgrade to
Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
 
Good to hear it is fixed.
Actually, Steve's response was in your other thread.
In the future it is best to limit it to one thread per issue.
