Hi auntyb

Did you install any programs that retrive all your email clients ? or something call Folder Sync/Folder Match ? if so then you should remove them in Add & Remove, or reinstall the program then uninstall it.

If you didn't have any programs like Folder Sync or Folder Match then you can try this...

Make sure you delete all mail in Outlook Express (work off line) now close OE, go to Start> Search> and type in "folders.dbx" with out the quotes. When you find this file right click and choose "rename" rename the file folders.old exit and restart OE and click the Send & Receive button.

Report back...
