There are only three things that can cause this. A spam program, rules, or
Blocked Senders. You said you checked rules, but did you check BS too?

Make sure you compact after cleaning out folders.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.

I have a problem slightly similar that email from 1 email address goes to
the deleted items folder all other emails are not affected.

The user has a problem with 22k emails in folders got him to delete all
except 100 so everything else seems ok except for the emails from 1 user
going to deleted items foler.

I have checked and there are no rules set up to make this happen (in fact
no
rules set up at all)

What could be the solution
