Yes Thanks for your suggestion - I checked that out by using the webmail
option and looking at my mailbox using the browser. There were definitely
10 of these messages there waiting. I watched for a while, and checked
again, not doing anything but hit "check mail" and there was still 10
messages there. After 15 minutes, still 10 messages there.
So I deleted them, and got zero messages waiting. Then checked again after
a minute or so and lo! 10 messages again.
I'm starting to think that I can't have this problem caused by outlook,
because I'm not using outlook for this - just a web browser. Could it be
that the mail server has a virus of somekind? IN which case I have to
wonder why just this mailbox and not any other mailbox on the same mail
server?
This is a puzzle for me.

if it is the same email then it might be that you downloaded the email to
your outlook but did not delete it from your email server which the outlook
re-download the same email again and again
