Re: cant delete 1 email

As with the hundreds of others who have had this problem, the best solution
we've come up with yet is MVP Steve Cochran's
WMUtil.exe. Get it free here:

http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/

Download it, run it, and follow instructions carefully.

Re: cant delete 1 email

That depends. Which folder, Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items?

Re: cant delete 1 email

Hal, WMUtil only clears stuck messages from the outbox.
It will not clear stuck messages from other folders.
The OP didn't specify which folder had the problem.

Hi emict326,

Read the top portion and do the section that you have the stuck message in.

RE: cant delete 1 email

wmict326 I found if I have a stuck mail or even a folder in my windows mail I
highlight the mail in question and then on my keyboard press shift and delete
and that does get rid of the offending mail I hope this helps you : )
