James, This could be JAWS-related because when you press Delete to delete a message in Outlook Express, it calls a script. If this script doesn't work for some reason, your message doesn't get deleted. As someone pointed out, Control+d works when Delete doesn't. This is because Control+d is an Outlook Express key combination and doesn't call a script.
