I deleted a junk message by right clicking on it and then marking it as
having been read. It was then deleted normally.

Hi Cookie,

I had the same problem but stumbled onto a solution.
If you highlight the email that has the error and then go to the button
under search you can select "Hide read messages" and that will get it off
your screen. It doesn't remove it but at least you don't have to look at it
all the time.

From what I have read about this error the only true way of getting rid of
it completely is to try a restore ( didn't work for me ) or try to uninstall
Windows Mail ( didn't work either ) or do another clean install ( my solution
saved me from having to do that )

I hope this helps ?

Default How to find and back-up the Windows Mail message store?

Windows Mail Help does not seem to tell how to find and back-up the stored
messages. Does anybody know how to do this in Windows Mail? It's probably
so simple that I will feel like a compete fool once I see the answer.

By the way, Outlook Express made this procedure very clear. Maybe it's the
same procedure here, but I can't remember it now!

Thanks in advance to any of you that has already figured this one out.

Default How to find and back-up the Windows Mail message store?

The easiest way is simply File, Export, Messages...
I don't recommend manipulating the raw message store because that
usually results in a corrupted message database.

You can also use a backup program I have used successfully in the past:
http://www.staticbackup.com/windows-mail-backup/

It has a fully functional 20 day free trial period.

For details on what the registry settings and message locations are for WinMail, see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx and the section on Windows Mail.
