WLM will not allow block messages to be deleted. I have to drag each
individual message to the deleted folder! What's up?

Deleted from 'where"
Mail, News, Junk Mail folder
- blocked messages are treated as Junk unless you create a rule/filter to
delete upon receipt

Have you selected something or a range (with or without sorting to select
common items) then clicked on the Delete button (Home Tab, 3rd from the
left)

Some messages won't open. If one of them is in a batch of messages I want to
delete I will get an 'Unkown Error' Message and have to drag the messages in
that batch one by one into the deleted folder on the left. A bit time
consuming!

How about providing all details at once..
Inbox for type of email account
- isp, pop3 or IMAP
- Hotmail using pop3 or http/deltasync
- are the messages present on your account web inbox (your isp, google,
yahoo, hotmail, etc)

Last time you performed a compact (manually) or allowed WLM to do it (it
happens automatically by default every 100 uses) and if you aborted it
manually or received a dialog box that it could not complete.

pop3...Comcast account...These messages that don't open and must be deleted
individually are not on the web account, although they probably were,
temporarily, until they were downloaded. The compacting process has not been
aborted that I know of and never got a message that it couldn't complete.
The problematic messages are ones that have been in the Inbox for at least
several months.

Open WLM in mail mode (don't access news, contacts, calendar, feeds)
Set the compact counter to 1
Go offline (rt side on the Home tab Ribbon)
Exit WLM using the blue WLM button (or press Alt F X)
Wait for it to compact (do not interrupt)
Open WLM
Go Offline
Delete the messages

If still not capable of deletion
- Look in the Comcast account Inbox folder in Windows Explorer (enable the
Subject field column to see the message Subject. If present delete them,
then repeat the compacting to ensure the index gets rebuilt.
or
- perform a repair of WLM

Were you able to delete the messages ?
If I may ask, do you ever move or delete messages from WLM's Quick View
folders ?

Repair, but the way
-> Add-Remove or Programs and Features
- Rt Click Windows Live Essentials - Uninstall/Change
-> When it loads choose the 'Repair' option
