If it only affects one user, maybe it has something to do with his system clock being wonky. Or maybe some other application is keeping IE secretly open (does this O/S have a task manager to check). Its certainly the case that if you close all mail-windows in Netscape and manually delete all cached messages, they won't go away until you also kill any web browsers, as they all come from the same PROCESS that took a secret lock out on the mail, regardless of which windows exit. Trouble is I think IE comes up at startup time (but this may just be preloaded DLLs) and is designed to bugger your system if you try and kill it (to prove how essential IE is to Windows).
