Cannot delete message

I'm unable to delete a message in windows mail. It concerns only last email,
the other emails can be deleted or moved normally.
How can I remove this email, when all other normal ways to delete the
message fail due to an unknown error?

There is nothing that can be done at the moment aside from wiping out the
entire database.

Mark it as read and then try deleting it.

i used the search command on the main menu to find the mswindowsmailstore
file folder and then deleted the folder. Windows Mail restored the deleted
messages as Recovered Mail and now it runs properly. The recovered messages
may delete normally or use the right mouse button.

I used the search command in the main menu to find the
mswindowsmail.messagestore. Include hidden files. I deleted the folders and
restarted Mail which Recovered the Deleted Messages in a separate Delete Item
folder. All messages are wiped from the inbox.

Go into the message store with Explorer and you should be able to find the
eml files that were in the inbox. Search for *.eml.

WinMail may have put the old messages under "recovered files".
