Vista - Email stuck in inbox

Email stuck in inbox

An email I tried to delete is stuck in my WM inbox and I get "an error has
occurred" when I try to delete or move it. Also the body of the message now
cannot be displayed, although it was there before I tried to delete it. WM
then just froze and now it's stuck.
I have email scanning turned off in my A/V and I tried rebooting.
The email was perfectly OK by the way - confrimation of a Paypal payment on
eBay.
Snip attached.

Re: Email stuck in inbox

This is a known issue. You can either ignore it or change your WM client to the new Windows Live Mail or even thunderbird.

Re: Email stuck in inbox

That is one way of doing it. I did not recommend that since you would have lost everything that you had in there. Deleting the WM Data and resetting it again new will do that

Re: Email stuck in inbox

I suppose those emails I lost which were in my "Saved" folder are irretrievable?

Re: Email stuck in inbox

You would have been in much better shape if you had merely upgraded
to Windows Live Mail instead of using an unsanctioned 'fix'.
