Display and deletion of email message

I received an email with a photo attachment. When I tried to open the
message, I got an error message with a Large "i" , and "Message could not be
displayed"
"Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message.Check your computer for low memory or low disc space and try again".
No matter what I do, I cannot accomplish any action on this message - I
would like to delete it but cannot.
(1) How Do I check computer for low memory or low disc space?
(2) How can I either display or delete this miessage.

Make sure your antivirus program has all of it's email scanning options turned off. This is a redundant feature that can corrupt Windows Mail. Plus, you will still be protected by your antivirus's real-time resident monitoring protection. Norton and McAfee seem to be the worst offenders with Windows Mail problems even with email scanning off, while Avast or AVG has not had any problems reported so far.

Then go to this link for a solution to get rid of the stuck message in one of your folders. Most likely the Inbox. If so, do the "To Reset Windows Mail" or switch to Windows Live Mail.
