I use Outlook Express for my email and about a month ago certain pieces of mail will not delete. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hmm... sounds like the inbox.dbx file might be corrupted. If you don't care about keeping any of the mail in your Inbox, you can close down OE and delete or rename the inbox.dbx file; it'll just create a new (empty) one the next time OE starts.
Alternatively, you can try Compacting the folders in question. Just select them in OE, click File > Folders > Compact Folder (or something like that). It may correct some cases of damaged .dbx files...

Ty so much Cross, you've been very helpful. This has been driving me nuts. Compacting the folders did the trick YAY!!!
