[quote user="idw"]How did you do the update, did you leave Windows in place or install W10 on a clean machine? Did you leave PM in its place or do a fresh install on W10? Any way of not doing a fresh install or just copying over an existing PM setup from a previous Windows version is likely to cause all sorts of weird issues.
My suggestion would be to do a fresh install of PM on the new system by choosing this option in PM's installer: You can do this along with the existing one, and if this one works this way you should be able to copy over existing folders and addressbooks etc., only it might become more time consuming ...

- It was an update install.
- At first I did leave PMail in its place. Then I installed a fresh copy into a different directory to check whether the issues still applied. Unfortunately, they do, even before I start configuring e-mail addresses.
There is actually a new "version" of the error message in the clean install in addition to the one described above.
How do the problems manifest? Once I start PMail, the error msg shown in the thread starter pops up 3-4 times when PMail reports that it is building the "program surface". Then the program starts, but depending on which e-mail identity I choose, I can either proceed normally with writing and receving mails, or it crashes completely for instance if I select to reply to an e-mail I had received.
Any ideas? Much appreciated.
