You can't reinstall Windows Mail on its own, it is an integral part of the operating system. I also dont think Windows Mail is repairable.

If after trying many things you still cannot delete the messages, then there is possibility that your email account has been corrupted. In this case, no need to repair/reinstall complete Windows Mail, You can just rebuild a new account and delete the corrupted account.

• Delete your current email account. (Click on Tools, Accounts in Windows Mail)
  WARNING: Be sure to backup (Export) any email messages you want to keep.
  
  
• Close and reopen Windows Mail.
  
  
• Add the email account again. (Click Tools, Accounts, Add, E-mail)
