User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5 This happened to one of the users in the office. I'm not capable of reproducing it, but he has through the course of his use, reproduced it several times, and I just need to help him solve it. The attached image shows in the message list, a message on the top that is simply blank, of subject, date, and recipient. This message cannot (after repeated attempts) be deleted. And because it does not exist on the Cyrus IMAP server, it cannot be deleted at that point too. The remedy that has worked so far was for me to go to C:/Documents And Settings/<user>/Application Data/Mozilla and delete his old profile, create a new profile, and recreate _ALL_ his preferences for him. This is extremely annoying to the user since he has a set of filters that I do not know where to copy from, and a set of configuration options that are not found in prefs.js. Ciao ST Lim Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: Something that can allow someone to delete this *%$!#%$#%@ message.

Have you tried a compact folder ? (file/compact folder)
