Weird solution for deleting emails in Windows 7 Live

I just bought 2 identical Dell desktops with the new i7 processors and Windows 7. I didn't think I would like 7, I loved XP, and HATED Vista, but after a very short time, I really REALLY like 7! The only problem I have encountered (and I see a lot of people on the net have run into the same one, with no working solution) is that some emails that come in on Windows Live the (email system on 7, as you can't load Outlook Express on 64 bit platforms) can't be deleted.

You get an error message that there is an unknown error, and the email cannot be moved. Nothing you do works. Delete doesn't work, nor does moving it to another folder, etc. Out of pure frustration, I highlighted the offending email, and tried to drag it somewhere else on the page. Of course, I got the universal round circle emblem with the line through it, but after that I could hit "delete" and the email was gone!

I had 3 emails do this, and it worked every time! Now its not getting this error anymore! I checked back online and found others had encountered this with Vista as well. I bet the same solution will work there too. Just a heads-up. Hope it helps.

Funny how people just looooove Windows 7 and they hated Vista, but Win 7 is soooo much like Vista, and not at all like XP. :confused:
 
7 is like vista with the bloat taken out. Vista is still a good o/s, but i think the default view (thumbnails, they are fkn HUGE by default) turned people off. It did use more resources and had lots of bugs at first, but by that time windows xp was 7 years old.
