I'm getting this problem in my Inbox.
I tried moving all email from it so as to leave only the damaged message in
it, and then tried to delete the folder but it didn't work.
I also tried removing the sender from my contact list and even if I could do
that I could not delete the message.
I also closed the preview pane already - nothing.
I should also mention that this is happening with my @gmail account, and
that I am getting the message in Spanish because my Vista is in Spanish.
Thank you, |

Same problem for me. Till now, no solution. I always have the same message
when I send mails : "no valid account...".
If you receive any info don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.

I'd suggest upgrading to the new Windows Live Mail beta,
but I think it only comes in English for now.
If anyone knows differently, please speak up.

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.

Cannot bring up www.oehelp.com/WMUtil. Message is that address is wrong.
Cannot delete message. I am using Vista Ultimate. None of the suggestions
work. Is Microsoft doing anything to help with this wide spread problem?

Try clicking on this link which should work:
http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx
Make sure to read the entire page on how to correctly use the program. Good
luck.

I tried Jim's option because it seemed more into que extent of my abilities
but I am sorry to report it didn't work.
I may need to dare with Frank's option... but as he said, I should only try
it if I just can't stand seeing this email stuck in my bin, which is
something I may get used to.
My antivirus is neither McAfee nor Norton.

Define "it did not work", the "it" presumably being the WMUtil program.
Was there an error message, or were the buttons grayed out?

WMUtil only works on the Outbox, not the Inbox.

Perhaps you could make the instructions even BIGGER?
Perhaps add an instruction to read the instructions?
and more distinct. >> Stay informed about: The message could not be deleted |
