Hiya,

  The answer to your problem is to set Outlook Express to Empty your deleted
items folder when it exits. This is done by going to the Tools menu, then to
Options, then to the Maintenance section. The very top option states "Empty
messages from the 'Deleted Items' folder on exit" ... just put a check next
to this option and when you exit Outlook Express it will remove all those
deleted emails.
