    WLM deleted email coming back

    I'm using a POP with my isp. I download all email, so they are not left on
    the server. I have the 'delete email on exit' option ticked. The problem I
    have a lot is that a few of my messages that I delete will show back up in
    my inbox as unread, but when I click on the message, there is no contents to
    view. I have to delete it a second time to permanently get rid of the
    email. Not a big deal, but just curious as to why this might be. If its a
    known bug then I can be patient.

    Another issue I have is when WLM asks to compress files upon exit, but at
    the very end of the process of compression, it gives me an error stating
    that a file is in use preventing the completion of the process. I have
    tried shutting down MSN Messenger with no luck. I don't see any other
    processes that could possibly be interfering with it. Avast anti-virus
    maybe?

    Follow - up: I have even clicked the 'X' on the deleted items folder, only
    to have them come back in the deleted folder upon WLM re-start. Pretty
    annoying bug...

    That is a long standing bug. I brought it up to the developers at last
    year's MVP Summit. I hope to revisit the problem with them at this
    year's summit next week.

    It appears to be an issue with the message index not always getting
    written to disk on closing.

    I personally see it on about 10% to 20% of closings affecting messages
    moved/deleted shortly before closing,
