My outlook express 6 keeps giving me back e mail that I have deleted. It is
as if it is stuck in a loop. I delete e mails and they come back the next
time I open OE Help Please !! I am running XP Home.
 
This sounds as though you have "Leave a copy of e-mail on the server"
selected. I haven't done or undone this for awhile, I think it is in the
e-mail account properties. Open OE, go to Tools, select Accounts, go to the
Mail tab, select the e-mail account and click properties. I believe there
is a selection in there to leave a copy on the server in which case, each
time you delete from your system, the copy left on the server is coming
right back.

I don't know what the solution to the ops problem is but I have my mail left
on the server for 3 days and I never receive duplicate emails and I don't
have the option checked to "delete from server after deleting from deleted
items". I find it a handy feature when ones gets his email on more than 1
machine.
 
Yes, it is a handy feature but it sands as though he may inadvertently have
checked the option. Your mail setup may be different from his.
