My outlook express keeps refusing to delete messages, tried reinstalling and it seems to work OK for a while, then goes again.
any ideas?

Is the "deleted items" folder set to empty itself when you close outlook express?
You can check the setting by selecting from the drop down menus
Tools - options - maintenance
There is a tick box for "empty messages . . . ."

No, it never has been. Would it help if it was?

Instead of just pressing the 'delete' key try holding the 'shift' key down and pressing the 'delete' key with the emails you want deleted highlighted.
This is a permanent delete and bypasses the deleted files folder so make sure you really don't want it anymore - useful for any spam that gets through.

Adam, works a treat! Don't understand why the deleted folder keeps hanging up though?

Dump Outlook Express and try to get a copy of the full Outlook or another mail client . Express has never been in the forefront of protection against SPAM, virus etc
And yes you can transfer your files from Express to Outlook but if you are using Netscape Mail there is some difficulty

Deleting emails (wityhout holdonf the shift key) only moves them to the Deleted folder, open that, press CTRL A (select all) and delete them from there.
Now they should be gone for good!

The problem is, they won't go to the 'deleted items' folder in the 1st place!

Why does it always get bloody silly?
Remembered I had a copy of Outlook 2000, installed it, copied addresses etc over from Express, uninstalled Express, all working OK, except I now get two copies of all incoming mails! WTF?
