Re: OLE 6 wierdness

Corruption can occur at any time. OE is somewhat fragile. Particularly
is your anti-virus is set to scan e-mail or you have a power outage or
turn off the PC while using OE or during an OE compact.

For Windows Messenger (WM) see:

I don't think so, unless the corruption was caused by adding the
Hotmail
account.
It had been working fine until then.

And what do you mean by WLM? Microsoft complicated things by
changing
names midstream.

WLM = Windows Live Messenger, or Mail or whatever it was that started
popping up along with OLE.


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.

That is apparently what happens by default when you add a Hotmail
account to
OLE. I had worked on this customer's machine a few months back and he
was not
using Windows Messenger. He says that it started popping up after
adding the
Hotmail account and he did not want to use it or see it. I disabled
WLM from
starting up with Windows yesterday, and just got a message a while ago
that
the problem occurred again today. Yesterday I had verified that the
Messenger
icon was not showing up in the systray after a reboot.


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.
