“I tried to delete email from Outlook Express but fail. It says Messages could not be moved”
The email folder where you want to delete the email was corrupted. This happens to users with Outlook Express with many emails all kept in the Inbox, or when your PC is not formated and used for quite a while.
Outlook Express keeps all email in DBX format. This file get corupted easily. Go to the Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder to know where is your DBX file. Delete the DBX, but make sure you have turn off Outlook Express and move your message to different folder. Open Outlook Express again and it will generate the new DBX. Now, move the email back to Inbox.
