Can't delete 1 email in Windows Mail.

I get message Unknown error has occurred. It happens with only 1 email. I read somewhere to delete the WindowsMail.MSMessageStore but that didn't solve the problem.

1.) Go into C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders (note that the directory is hidden by default) and find/delete the message directly be looking for the matching date/time stamp.
2.) Go into the webmail account and delete it directly from there as opposed to using the e-mail client.
Hope this helps,
John

I tried about everything to fix this too. Here's what worked!!!!!
I simply marked the email as unread and deleted it. That's it and it worked.
How annoying.

if the above doesn't work (it didn't for me) ...
try just dragging the email into your Deleted Items folder! - that's what I ended up doing
crazy - I couldn't delete it by hitting the menu bar Delete button or right-clicking and selecting Delete ... I tried moving the other messages out and deleting the folder (plus thought I tried the other options above) ... then it just happily dragged into my Deleted Items folder ... !
(it was marked as read, so perhaps that helped too)
good luck
