I use WINME,MSExp6,Firefox,EZArmor Security. I did have NAV and had this same
problem. I am ususally unable to delete email messages from various folders.
Set to empty deleted folder upon exit and this works. I have used repair tool
in add/remove programs, but problem persists.Any suggestions?

If it's only with certain folders, the folders may be corrupted. Try
creating new folders, and move the messages into those new folders, then
close Outlook Express, and use Windows Explorer (WinKey+E) to navigate to
the message store folder and find and delete the DBX files with the names of
the problem folders. You can also try a compact of your message store while
working offline since that can often repair "minor" corruption in the DBX
files in the store.

It is not with certain folders. I restart, open OE, read some email,and
delete or move it to a folder. At some point, I am unable to delete any email
from any folder. The deleted folder does empty upon exit.

Then the problem is most likely with a corrupted deleted items folder.
Close OE, go to the message store folder, find and delete "Deleted
Items.dbx" and then restart Outlook Express. Also make sure you compact
your message store folder often while working offline.

What problem? Can't delete messages from any folder?
General OE Caveats:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm." target="_blank">http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.</a>
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
If none of the above helps: Close OE. Find and delete Deleted Items.dbx.
