ALT-E brings up the Edit menu on my Windows Mail. Am I missing something?

Hello! I want to thank you, Frank, a million times over! I did exactly as
you said and my Inbox email that shut down my Windows Mail and my Outbox
email that would not delete is all taken care of.
I followed your specific instructions as follows:

There are two copies of WindowsMail.MSMessageStore, One in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Microsoft\Windows Mail and one in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Backup\New
If you delete both of these the database will be rebuilt. However, while no
messages should be lost, some may be downloaded again and you may lose some
record of which have been read. I recommend that you only do this when they
are causing you trouble, like when they are in the Outbox. Otherwise I now
just mark them as read and ignore them.

Once again, a million "thank you's to you!"

Sincerely
Elusive

Have you tried marking it 'read' and then deleting it?
If the undeletable email is in a folder other than the outbox,
just ignore it. The cure for that is worse than the disease.
