I also have an email sitting in my inbox date 5/29/07, a few months after I
purchased my Vista laptop. I had others but they ended up being normal
emails originally, however when in my deleted folder, I selected a group of
them to delete, certain ones ended up with that message and wouldn't leave my
deleted folder. I found a solution accidently for the ones in the deleted
folder... since they were already there.. I created a message rules, and
asked windows to delete on exit, anything with this message... It worked on
those ones! The original one in the inbox, unfortunately is stuck there. I
no longer use McAffee which came on the computer, but use a favorite that my
brother gave me called VCOM Fix It Utilities by Avanquest. In between taking
out McAffee and installing the new one, where I was not protected at all, I
still couldn't get rid of that one email. The only other thing I can think
of is maybe there is possibly some McAffee files still in the registry
If you have a solution, Please let me know... thanks... Gloria
