Can you please > help > me. Thanks Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. It provides no protection not provided by the regular resident protection. Beside that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail. If you are not willing to just ignore them, the only way is to delete both copies of the database (which does not contain the messages, but only references to them) and let WinMail rebuild it. First close WinMail, then use Task Manager to make sure there are no instances of it under applications or processes. Then click Start | Search | Advanced Search Check the box to include non-indexed, hidden and system files. In the Name field type WindowsMail.MSMessageStore and click the Search button. It should show you two copies. Delete both of them and re-open WinMail. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com |

| | Re: can't delete from inbox So I had this same problem. Now my Windows Mail is a major mess. Every time I open up the program, it creates a new "Recovered Messages" folder, named for the date it was c reated and I think the time of day. Each "Recovered Messages" folder has 5 sub-folders. It is really bogging down my systtem. Any ideas?

| | Re: can't delete from inbox Drag the messages to the folder you want them to appear in and delete the empty folders. It isn't hard. Next time, just ignore non-deletable messages in any folder but the Outbox, where WMUtil will delete them. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com "Mike Benner" <Mike Benner@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E59A808F-44E9-4DB6-859E-D9AB1EEE3D14@microsoft.com... > So I had this same problem.

| | Re: can't delete from inbox That's why I tell people NOT to do what Frank suggested. I think its better to move the entire message store to a subdirectory under Documents and then once WinMail works, then use File | Import | Messages to get the messages from the moved store. Otherwise people are continuously experiencing this "recovered messages" issue. steve "Mike Benner" <Mike Benner@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E59A808F-44E9-4DB6-859E-D9AB1EEE3D14@microsoft.com... > So I had this same problem.
