How to delete a stuck message?

[Dumb Bunny]

There is one message in my Inbox which will not allow me to delete it.
Whenever I attempt to do this a message reding "AN unknown error has
occured".
Anyone any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Disable the Preview pane first.

My thanks to the responses to this msg. that have been posted already.
(Incidently, I do not ever have Preview pane running.)
I am pleased to report, however, that by means of opening and closing the
rogue entry and also going in and out of it's properties I was finally able
to delete it without the need for any further drastic action. PWEW! (big
sigh of relief)

If you have difficulty deleting messages, apply this Microsoft fix:

Although that article only mentions Outbox, it works for all mail folders.

This used to be a "known problem" and there is a fix from MS.[1]
It was fixed with SP1. Could it be that you do not yet have SP1? If so,
t would be high time to make your system up-to-date!

An alternative would be to use Steve Cochran's WMUtil.[2]

For those who don't know German, 'richtig' means 'correct'.
