Hi Tim,

Queued refile/delete/etc operations are stored in ~/.elmo/queue, and
unsent message are stored in the folder defined in the variable
wl-queue-folder. Sometimes you can get an invalid operation in your
queue (e.g., a refile to a server that does not exist). When this has
happened to me I have toggled disconnected operation (M-t M-t) to
flush all (successful) operations, then quit WL and removed the
~/.elmo/queue file (after first checking it).

Hope that helps.

best, Erik
