Since some weeks I also notice a strange behavior of PMMail: now and
then it just vanishes, but without leaving any trace in the
POPUPLOG.OS2 - just as if someone had pressed the F3 key for exit.

This started after I added a new volume (out of previously unused disk
space) to my system and re-arranged a number of files and directories.

Are you using XWorkplace? I suspect that "the system" (eCS + XWP +
whatever) is becoming more and more unstable as one installes and
de-installs applications.
