I don't think you're alone.  Google returns 529,000 answers on deleting OE 
messages.

First try these remedies:

OE is tightly bound up with the browser Internet Explorer. A corruption in 
one can affect the other. OE can be subject to many different sorts of 
corruptions. If you've experienced problems browsing recently, you may need 
to reinstall IE. See here:

One tip not mentioned is that most emailers have an option to leave mail on 
the server. I don't use OE, but check in its tools/options to see if that 
option is there. Uncheck it. If mail is left on server, it could get 
downloaded multiple times.

There are many possible causes. If you don't find the answer above, Google 
for something like "Outlook Express messages delete". In the absence of 
other readers suggestions, I'll leave it to you to sift through the 
half-million answers. Good luck.

PS. To avoid future OE problems, you might consider downloading the free 
Thunderbird email program. It's probably the most popular of the freeware 
emailers right now, and has a very large following. In fact, it's always a 
good idea to have an alternative emailer set up, in case one suddenly goes 
wrong and you may end up missing out on that $5million that some kind 
Russian Prince is eager to deposit in your bank account.
