Problem Solved!!

Too easy! :-)

My Inbox folder and Deleted Items folder were the problems.

I saved all the messages I needed to keep into a "named" folder in the
folders tree (the one that includes inbox, deleted, drafts etc.)

Close OE.

Using "Search" I found the inbox.dbx folder and the deleted items.dbx folder
and deleted them both.

When you reopen OE it recreates those two new folders and all should be well
from there on in.

Now easy once again to delete messages.
