In my inbox, I have some emails that have a lock next to them. When I try to
delete them, I get the message "This message could not be deleted". The lock
looks like a padlock and is next to the columns for flagging and attachments.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is with Outlook Express? I see no option for this.

The icons I attached are the only ones you normally see when using Outlook
Express. Are you using some other mail application? If it is Outlook
Express, try a screen capture and then edit the screen capture using
mspaint.exe to attach the icon to your reply, so that we have some idea of
what you may be talking about. I suspect it may be a digitally signed
message that you do not have a security certificate for, or it could be
caused by an antivirus program scanning email or by a firewall such as Zone
Alarm, but not by Outlook Express.

This sounds like you're using MS Outlook (not Outlook Express) with the PGP
plug-in installed.
