Hi Jim, I don't think that you are in the right folder. I'm not sure where you went wrong but if you press the Store Folder button, copy the full path then use the Run dialog box to access the Store Folder, you should see a list of all your DBX files. As far as I'm aware, in the Store Folder there should not be any folders but DBX files. I can't tell you what the name of the DBX file that you have to delete is without knowing precisely how many email accounts you have and what you have named them. I would be happy to help you with this over a Skype session if you like. It should only take couple of minutes to kiss that inbox file goodbye.

Amro, I have finally got round to try to delete the in box which as a stuck email in it. However, I went into stored file and copied the path then I found the page with the window mail folders, I then found local folder and went into that, I found in box which is a folder. Is this the folder that needs deleting? Or have I gone wrong somewhere? Can you please advise before I delete the wrong file.

Jim, you should be on the (Folder List Tree View) and the Inbox is highlighted for the Alt Enter keystroke to bring up the Inbox Properties dialog. If that still doesn't work for any reason, go to Menu Bar>Tools>Options>Maintenance and press the Store Folder button. The Store Folder is where all the DBX files are stored. Must say though that Barry's suggestion works a real treat and I didn't know about it before! Thanks, Barry, for teaching me something new! Hope you find your way to the store folder, Jim.

It just made a bell noise. It wasn't in the "in box messages", but i did a go to folder "ctrl plus i" and tried it from there, no luck doing it that way or in the message area itself, it just brings up the property sheet for the message the focus is on. Any idea where i'm going wrong?
