Windows mail shows long ago deleted files

Hi,

Windows mail shows in the "inbox" and "deleted files" folders long ago
deleted files that are not existing in the folder when I look my windows mail
folders via Windows Explorer.
Windows Mail shows these messages with a text "Message could not be displayed
Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again."
and does not let to delete or move these messages (well natural, as these
files have been deleted a long ago already...)

How can I get rid of those "fantom" old messages?
