I have a mail header in my inbox that i can't delete. Each time I try it
crashes thunderbird & want's to send an error report to microsoft.
It also prevents me from compacting messages & exporting messages.
I am about to reformat my drive & will lose all my emails if I can't
sort this out.
Help!!

You just have to delete the *inbox.msf* file (only this one not the one
without extension) this is an" Mail Sumery File" which contains the
headers of your inbox e- mails. The msf file seems to be corrupted . A
new inbox.msf file will be generated automatically when you acces your
mail. I don't know which version of Windows you are using but on the
next link you will find the path to the directorie where the inbox.msf
file is located:
