I'm using Vista. A email is in my "Inbox" and can not be deleted or moved. I
get a error message when I try. How can I fix this?
 
I have a email in the 'drafts' folder that I cannot delete. Vista states 'an
unknown error has occurred' then pops up another dialog saying 'deleting
mail' and just hangs.. AND IT TOOK 5 YEARS TO MAKE THIS?
 
THIS DOWNLOAD FROM MS FIXED THE PROBLEM.....

Thanks Brink, but it didn't work...

Hi Wendell,

Try using Microsoft's KB941090 Hotfix for the Outbox. It is rumored to
work for all folders. It will not hurt anything to install it. If it
works, would you please post back letting us know to confirm the rumor?

If it does not work, then read the top portion at this link and do the
"To Reset Windows Mail" section. I would recommend to switch to Windows
Live Mail.

Thanks for that feedback. This is the first confirmation we have
that the Microsoft fix works for more than just the Outbox folder.

None worked. I tried WLM but nothing (email accounts, contacts, messages) did
not transfer, so I deleted it.
 
I just re-downloaded KB941090 again and this time it worked. It seems that
its either a full screen page or a small floating icon in the upper left
corner. Can you still make it a half sreen size? I would like to thank Brink
and everyone for their help.
 
I got the resizing of the email page corrected. All is fine now. I want to
thank everybody for their imput and help! Its sooo frustrating uh?
