I've often come across this problem and most times the cause is Deleted
Items folder is full and cannot take in more messages. Similarly when the
Sent Items folder is full messages get stuck in the Outbox folder after
being sent. The solution in both cases is to delete unnecessary messages
from the Deleted / Sent Items folder and then compact it.

If, on the other hand, the above procedure doesn't help then probably
Outlook Express has just gone crazy and perhaps reinstallation can help. I
personally prefer using Outlook to Outlook Express. The former has an
Archiving feature which helps in preventing the folders from getting full
and corrupt.

Hope that helps
