Check in Applications and System... &nbsp;is it telling you anything about why OE is crashing?<br />
<br />
In Windows Mail there are only 3 options (Mail, News and IMAP) for logs in the Troubleshooting section of Maintenance on the Advanced tab of Tools-&gt;Options... it seems like in OE there was a 4th option, for OE itself. <br />
If I'm not remembering incorrectly, you could try enabling that logging, too.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
