It is a POP3 account and the link says to "delete the "Pop3uidl.dbx" file."
How do I delete it?

Then you're not posting from the problem account? I see Hotmail in your
address.

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 StartRunCtrl+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 Windows XP, 2K & 3K, 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 |
View.

With OE closed, delete the Pop3uidl.dbx file and then close Windows Explorer
and open OE. A new file will have been created.

I'm sorry. It's my son who is having this problem and he is using the pop3
account. He went to search and entered pop3uidl and when it came up, he hit
delete. Then he went back to Outlook Express and he's still receiving
double emails. Thank you for helping.

I have one of those Pop3uidl.dbx files also -- no problems at this time, but
should I delete that file?

It will be recreated if you do. It is only used if you have Leave a copy of
messages on the server checked. No need to delete it if there is no problem.
It can become damaged which results in multiple e-mails. That's when you
would want to delete it.
