He could have a corrupted identity. You might try creating a new
identity.
How to Create and Use Identities in Outlook Express

And what do you mean by WLM? Microsoft complicated things by changing
names midstream.
What they originally called Windows Live Mail is now called Windows Live
Hotmail and is the new Hotmail web interface. I wouldn't have the
Hotmail web interface (old or new) open at the same time that OE is open
with the same Hotmail account. Who knows what weirdness could happen
accessing the same account both ways at the same time.
What Microsoft now calls Windows Live Mail was previously called Windows
Live Mail Desktop. It is a beta version of an e-mail client which
Microsoft intends as the successor for Outlook Express on Windows XP and
Windows Mail on Vista. The same thing goes here. Accessing the same
mail account via two mail programs at the same time is asking for
trouble.

A customer is reporting some strange things going on with his OLE since
adding a hotmail account. He had been running OLE for years without a
problem
prior to that. He has xp home sp2 with all the latest updates.
I had a look at it but could not reproduce the problems. He says it
sometimes opens or deletes emails on its own, without clicking on
anything
that would have triggered those actions. On one occasion, he went into
his
deleted items folder to view/retrieve an auto-deleted email and after
OLE
briefly displayed the contents of the deleted items folder, the
contents of
same disappeared.
I did see something similar to this when I went into the bulk mail
folder -
there was an email showing in the folder which disappeared after
displaying
for a second or so.
Another of his complaints was that windows live messenger was now
popping up
when he launched OLE so I configured that so that it would not launch
when xp
booted. Are there known issues with WLM and OLE coexisting when OLE is
configured for a hotmail account?
Anyone seen this?
disabled Live Messenger from starting up when xp boots.
