Try compacting and repairing the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and see
if that fixes it.

I tried the fix where you delete the "WindowsMail.MSMessageStore" - it did
not work at all. Will try this later and see if it has any effect. Thanks.

Just deleting one copy of the file won't work.

So go to
Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store Folder to find the message
store location. Then move everything under that Windows Mail directory to
another directory. Then restart WinMail and it will open fresh with nothing
in the database. You can then add your accounts and if they work correctly
then you can use File | Import | Messages and choose WinMail format and
point to the directory to which you moved the files.

Just click this link, read the instructions, download the program and you
are sorted.

Ignore the jargon and try to do things yourself, do not rely on M$ or any
one else.

Best of luck.

No, there is no fix and its likely to happen again, which is why we tell
people just to ignore it. Eventually (no one knows when) a patch will
likely be released. Its best just to let it alone if its not breaking the
functionality of the program anymore than that.

If the number of deleted items is less than 10 everything works ok, I don't
know why yet. There is problably a larger number for which it works, just
don't know what it is, I know it's less than 30
