Try:
When this happens again right click on the taskbar at the bottom>task
manager>processes>find and end any instances of WinMail.Exe, you should then
be able to open WM properly again?

Something appears to be preventing WM from shutting down?
Disable any 3rd party applications from scanning your mail, particularly
your AV or spam blockers?

One of the recent versions of the Trend antivirus software (details not
available) causes assorted problems in Windows Mail. We see reports
of problems caused by Norton or McAfee antivirus software more
often, though.
