error has occurred" and the message cannot be deleted. People with this problem, often need to windows live mail can't empty deleted items folder delete multiple messages or entire folders. That error appears because WLM only thinks it has that/those message(s), but actually that message is nowhere how to delete windows live mail messages to be found in the the Windows email folders. The message exists no longer, but WLM still shows it as being in its own folders and you simply cannot delete it using the normal procedure. For the easier way, one https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/can-t-delete-1-email-in-windows-mail-252586/ can drag the unwanted and non-existing emails to the Deleted Items folder, one by one. However, that is crazy when you have to get rid of hundreds or thousands of them (yes, I had that situation!). This is how to trick WLM if you want to delete multiple emails giving you that error: 1. We try to simulate forwarding multiple messages. Select multiple emails by clicking on one and then using SHIFT to click and select multiple concatenated messages. http://www.eightforums.com/browsers-mail/50178-solved-windows-live-mail-delete-message-generate-error.html Do that screen after screen (scroll down/up). Stop when you see the FORWARD button has become grey. That means one email is even more stubborn and doesn't even want to be forwarded. 2. Hold the SHIFT key and click the messages up and down until you find the culprit. It will be just outside your selection, when your selection manages to un-grey the Forward button. 3. With a lot of messages selected and concatenated, click on the Forward button. You'll get another error message "One or more messages could not be attached. Select OK to continue creating the note." Click Cancel. 4. Now something has unblocked those messages (or message information) and, with the selection on, you can Delete them by simply clicking the Red X (delete) button. 5. The message that made the Forward button grey, can now be deleted as well. 6. Keep doing that until you finish the bunch of messaged you wanted to delete when you got the initial error.

Windows Mail Posted April 10, 2007 by Rob Rogers in Microsoft Vista
A number of users are experiencing problems with Windows Mail and deleting messages from the Inbox and Outbox. The message will first become unviewable in the reading pane and http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2270/vista_what_to_do_when_you_cannot_delete_a_message_in_windows_mail/ will then generate an error when you try to delete it. This is usually caused by http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/139623-windows-live-mail-wont-open-delete-mail.html a corrupt mailstore. To rebuild the mailstore (WindowsMail.MSMessageStore), follow these steps: 1. Back up the email you wish to keep. While rebuilding the mailstore shouldn't result in any loss of email, it is always better to be safe. 2. Close Windows Mail. 3. Click the Start Button and select Computer. 4. Navigate to C:\Users\your username/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsMail. 5. Delete WindowsMail.MSMessageStore. 6. Open the Backup windows live directory. 7. Open the new directory. 8. Delete WindowsMail.MSMessageStore. 9. Open Windows Mail to rebuild the mailstore database. You should now be able to view and delete the problematic message(s).

No problems at all - until yesterday when cleaning out my Inbox, all of a sudden, while trying to delete messages, I received an error "An Unknown Error Has Occurred" and I cannot delete the message. every once in a while, a second pop up box appears titled "Windows Live Mail" and it states it's deleting mail, however it just keeps running without doing anything, until I shut it down. I have also begun to have problems opening mail as well! Re starting the mail program and re booting the pc has not helped the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
