getting this error each time, othertimes I am not able to open OE again,
getting a message saying that another instance of OE is already running.
This is when I reboot. Rebooting, and/or resetting windows does get OE to

problem
started shortly after a windows update a couple of weeks ago. I am not
sure
what exactly was updated, as it is done automatically.

Is your Hotmail account a paid account? If not, you can expect its
integration with Outlook Express to end soon and the errors will only
continue. Try going to Tools/Options/General tab and uncheck the option to
Send/Recv messages on Startup and see if that helps.

The error usually indicates temporary problem's on MSN/Hotmail's end.

That being said, Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the
default Main Identity. Try the account in a new Named Identity (File
Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages from
the old Identity before deleting it (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature (POP3 mail only) can
also cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional
protection.

The hotmail account is a free account that was grandfathered for access. It
is still working, except for the errors. Your suggestion seems to have
helped. Thanks!

Glad to help, but integration of Hotmail and Outlook Express has always been
problematic. I expect it to only get worse in the future and become a
web-only service in a short while. Thanks for the feedback.
