Outlook 2003: Stuck Message Followup Folder can't be deleted

[Rick Strahl [MVP]]

Hi all,

I have a message in my follow up folder that I can't delete. It's a message
from with a virus warning that was removed by the mail server (I think - I
can't open the message). It's old - it's been there since september.

The message shows as unread, but it's not in any other folder. And of course
I can't delete it. When I try I get:

The item could not be deleted. It was either moved, or already deleted or
access was denied.

The message won't archive either...

How do I get rid of this message?

If the folder is one of your search folders, just delete and recreate the
search folder.
