That is you select some other email that you can delete then CONTROL + CLICK to add the one that does not. TWO EMAILS are highlighted then you tap the DELETE key.
It's an old school trick but I find today's owners rarely know it.

Dear All, I have a batch of about 30 emails I received sometime last year, from a wide range of sources, that stubbornly refuse to disappear from the "unread email" folder of Windows Live Mail on my computer. I am unable to open them and they will not respond to being tagged as "read". I get the message: "A problem has occurred - try again." I try again to no avail!
I think that they are all messages that came via Hotmail, but I cannot be sure - I several email accounts that I use thro' Windows Live Mail.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. It is an irritation!
