Hello,

After a difficult upgrade to Leopard, I have several email messages in
my Mail inbox whose text I can't see and which can't be deleted. Does
anyone know how I can fix this situation? I'm not so interested in the
messages, but it bugs me to have them show up in my inbox every day.

Thanks,
Tom

Try rebuilding the mbox.

Yes, this did the trick.

In case any one else wants to know:

0) Make sure Mail is not open.
1) Copy ~/Library/Mail to the desktop in case something goes wrong.
2) Take ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index to the Trash.
3) Start Mail.
4) Wait while it rebuilds the mbox.

Or select the mailbox and choose "Rebuild" from the Mailbox menu.
