Bruce's solution works, I just renamed the inbox.dbf after moving everything
from the inbox into a temporay folder I created, closed OE and renamed the
inbox.dbf to inbox.old, restarted OE and moved all the real mail back inot
the inbox and it worked fine.

Hi - I was working and had OE open when we had an unexpected power outage.
When the power came back, I rebooted and reopened OE. I clicked on one of
the new messages in my inbox and OE hung up and stopped responding. No
problem with any other messages, but now I can't get rid of this one. I'm
assuming it was coming in just as the power went out and probably got
corrupted. I've tried everything I could think of, and everything I could
find online, but I cannot delete this message -- as soon as I touch it in any
way, OE crashes. Can anyone help with this?
