Windows Mail (Vista) - unable to delete e-mail message

I have received a "junk" mail message (confirmed by ISP), I am unable to
delete it - Windows Mail does not action request. Mail still opperates but
clearly this is a MICROSOFT software issue. Is there a fix inhand /
available? Have exhausted all standard options. Chirs (UK)

Hi Chris,

Read the top portion at this link and try the "Stuck Message in Junk E-Mail" section. It may do the trick for you. If not you can proceed to the "To Reset Windows Mail" section.

Hi Harriet,

Read the top portion at this link and do the "Stuck Message in Outbox" section for Steve Cochran's WMUtil program. It will get rid of it for you.

The recommended "resetting" of Windows Mail has worked a treat, the notes
were extremely acurate! Problem solved....whish they were all so easy!
