Go to View | Layout and disable the Preview Pane. Then highlight the
message in the message list and do a Shift - Delete and that will remove it.

Also disable email scanning. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Whenever I click on it, I get an hour-glass WAIT logo...The WAIT logo will
stay forever. Cannot highlight different messages or anything. Only
recourse is to close Outlook Express and reopen. I've been told that the
only way I can get rid of it is to delete ALL e-mails. also suggested was
to use the Inbox Repair Tool.aka scanpst.exe I have done a thorough
search and it is NOT in my puter. this problem is NOT a virus problem. I
have good Norton and virus scans have not affected it. I have windows XP
SP2 Can anyone suggest an alternative way to get rid of the e-mail?
