Windows Live Mail stops running on it's own

Several times a day Windows Live Mail just stops working, crashes and burns.
What would be the cause? I have Trend Micro Virus installed, but I have the
email scanning turned off. Will there be an update to Windows Live Mail
anytime soon to address these problems?

Thanks in advance

Re: Windows Live Mail stops running on it's own

Trend Micro antivirus is among the top three troublemakers for Windows Mail.
You have taken the correct first step by disabling its interaction with email.
However, that may not be sufficient to solve the problem. If no
improvement, do a trial uninstall of the antivirus.

Another option (instead of uninstalling Trend Micro) is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail, which is more resistant to the adverse effects of
overly intrusive antivirus products:

Right pew, wrong church.

You'll find support for Windows Live Mail (WLM) in this public newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

Via the web-interface:
