vista 4gb ram Sony vgn z590. randomly mail will close as if hit x. if any
mail being written it is lost but everything else seems ok when I restart
it. may happen once every few days. tonight ONLY mail running and it
happened. I leave mail open all the time and sometimes come back and it has
closed. I have seen it several times when I am composing a message, and
loose the message. especially if I have the message open for some time
gathering information. (workaround --I now save the message to draft as I
type it to avoid loosing what I have written so far) any ideas on what is
causing this?

I have no idea what could cause that, but I suggest you run another
mail program alongside Windows Mail, just to see if the same
trouble occurs.
I recommend trying the latest Windows Live Mail beta:

It will automatically import all your Windows Mail data.
