Windows Live Mail 2011 hangs when I start my Windows 7 PC.  If I don't access mail for a half hour or so, I get a message "Windows Communications Platform has stopped working."  It crashes and restarts itself.  Afterwards if I restart the Live Mail 2011 client it works.  I also can get it working if I kill the process wlcomm.exe.  Looks like a bug in wlcomm.exe is the culprit.  What is rereally bizarre is that the same thing occurs on my Windows 8 laptop running Windows Live Mail 2012 .
