[Crossposted to OE General newsgroup]
OE does not play nicely with anti-spam applications or email scanning.
General OE Caveats:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.
- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

I have CA ISS Plus 2008 (not 2009) from disk. Anti-spam did not install.
Support from CA is very poor. Have I got adequate protection in Outlook
Express 6? Do I need to activate anything?
