Default deleting messages

where is the "message store folder"?

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.

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.

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.
