    I keep getting some that won't delete, as a thing called "language pack installation" pops up, which I never install. I close it as a window but don't cancel it.

    If you delete the emails on the server instead of downloading them to your hard disk, this problem wouldnt arise. See my post on Mailwasher above.

    Just looked at your post, I'll have to get Mailwasher. Thanks again.

    In case it's of interest to anyone, I worked out a way of filtering some forms of nuisance emails in Outlook Express and described it in this thread.

    Incidentally, one of the 'Actions' you can define in the message rules is 'Delete it from server'.
