Hello Sonia

In addition to Mike's post

If you mean with Windows Mail, then this will help show you how to fi
the stuck undeletable email message problem in Windows Mail in al
folders

The KB941090 update will just fix the problem for now. You must sto
the cause to prevent it from happening again. Read the "First" sectio
in this tutorial about antivirus and other security programs to hel
prevent this from happening again, then install the KB941090 Microsof
Update in the "Second" section to fix the stuck message problem

'Windows Mail problems
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62...-problems.html

Hope this helps
Shaw

Another way to get to do this is to simply unplug the network cable or turn
off the wireless adapter. That will stop the mail transmission and in a
few moments the message will be deletable.
