Check event viewer (windows application log) and see if there are ESENT
errors.

That "low memory" message is a default error message OE and WinMail throw
out when they can't figure out the problem. I'd ignore the problem at the
moment. MS is working on the "ghost" messages and hopefully they will be
eliminated in future builds.

You can try physically deleting the file from Windows Explorer and see what
that does.
