Hi I have a problem with outlook express I have about 8 emails stuck in the
draft folder I just cannot delete or move them and every time i do a send
and receive they get sent out again Any Ideas would be appreciated.

It sounds like they are stuck in the outbox and not the Drafts folder. Go
to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder and find the location of the
dbx files that hold the messages (they are hidden). Then with OE closed
delete the outbox.dbx and drafts.dbx files. OE will create new ones and
that should fix the problem.
