Hey guys, I recently updated to Lion and in the process of importing my mail account, two messages were corrupted. They appear in the folder as blank subject, sender, etc. If I attempt to open either, it causes the mail program to stop responding. I want to delete these two messages, but mail refuses to do so. I can right click them and select delete, but when I re-open mail they're right back! I also tried rebuilding the mailbox, and I got an error saying two files didn't exist, but it didn't remove them from the folder. Any ideas how to get these headaches deleted?!

Thanks!

EDIT: Of course, after spending all night and morning searching a solution, and then finally making a thread, I find a solution 30min later! I unchecked "Store deleted messages on server" and it deleted right away.
