I've received a mail message that I can't open or delete. Eact time I try my
outlook will just stop responding and I'll have to restart it. I've tried the
inbox repair tool and it didn't work. I don't know what's wrong with this
mail message - it has no attachment or basically I just want to delete it.
What's the best approach to handle it? Should I re-install outlook? re-create
my profile from scratch?

Thank you

I eventually solved it by running this vb code as a macro. I found it in this
discussion group :)

Public Sub Test()
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim F as Outlook.MapiFolder
    Set F=Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    F.Items.Remove 1
    DoEvents
    Set F=Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDeletedItems)
    F.Items.Remove 1
End Sub
