you need to log into your email online. i assume you are downloading it through outlook express or something? go to the homepage of your service provider and log in there with your username and password and delete the emails from there. all you're doing on outlook is removing them from your computer

Stevie - in Outlook... Click on tools, and then accounts.. then click on properties, and then click the advanced tab.

 

At the bottom of the tab there is a section where it says 'Leave a copy of messages on the server' - make sure the check box next to it is not active, as in make sure it's empty. If it's currently ticked, untick it and then click on apply, and then OK.

Then close all windows and get back to the main outlook screen and click on send/recieve - should clear up messages on the server for you.
