All of a sudden I received multiple copies of the same emails. I could

Canno delete emails
This is a POP# account I assume?
First, make sure there are no messages you want to keep in Deleted Items. In Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced, make sure "Leave a copy........." is not checked. Close OE and delete Deleted Items.dbx and Pop3uidl.dbx from the message store. New files will be created when you open OE and the messages will download one more time, but that should do it. Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. With OE closed, find the DBX file for Deleted Items and Pop3uidl and delete them. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE. General precautions for Outlook Express: Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible. After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while working *offline* and do it often. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}. And backup often.

I seems to have a similar but different problem. OE seems to run fine for a while and then (and usually when I try to delete an email) it just does nothing after I click on the delete button. And then when I go to another email, it comes up with a blank screen, cannot display the message. If I go to another folder, I get nothing. I can close OE and go back in again and it will again function for a while until everything repeats. Does it sound like your solution given here will work for this situation? Char...

Sorry about not starting a new thread. I'm not used to participating in
discussion groups, only do it when necessary which isn't often. I will try what you recommended, just will take a while as I have a lot of weeding out to do. Is it likely just the folder that is corrupt and not an individual message(s) causing it? If it is the folder I guess I could move everything to a unique folder and weed it out later. If it is individual messages causing it then I will have to see if I can get rid of everything. I did try this with the Inbox only earlier and thought I had cured the problem but then it crept up again. Do I need to delete the Pop3uidl.dbx (as you suggested to an earlier post)? What is that folder for? If you don't mind, one more question ... am I getting a good backup of my email folders if I copy the complete Outlook Express folder (using Explore) to my backup disk?
