Q330994/April-03, Q837009/Apr-04 and Q823353/Jul-04 Cumulative Patches for
Outlook Express (which you prolly have installed) contain a bug causing the
problem you and many others are having. Until this bug is addressed by the
OE Team, we're advised to always leave an Identity via File>Exit and Logoff
Identity and not use File>Switch Identities.
Others have found the Force Identity Logon, which essentially does the same
thing, works for them:

If one of your Identities is the default 'Main Identity', which is much more
prone to such problems, you could try replacing it with a new Named Identity
(File>Identities>Add new identity) in hopes of finding more reliability.
Import messages from the old Identity before deleting it
(File>Identities>Manage Identities).
