I suspect that you have an incorrect registry setting for the problem user. Possibly the
Store Root setting.

OE: Changing the Default Location of Mail and News Folders
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=175037
See the section for OE5 in the above location for the key (OE6 uses the same key structure
as OE5).

Also see:
OE won't even start

For further help

Use the following newsgroup for questions or problems with OE6
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

You can also get to the Outlook Express newsgroups via this web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx
There select Internet Technologies then Internet Explorer

You will find out information about issues affecting Outlook Express 5/6 at:
