Does "i want to open another window from my e-mail and nothing will open"
mean that you are trying to click a link in received email and sometimes
clicking on what looks like a URL opens a browser window and sometimes it
doesn't? If so, it might be that some of those sending emails to you are
actually including valid links while some are not. IIRC for a link to be
valid in OE it must include the full legal URL such as http://etc.etc while
ones that look like etc.etc or http:/etc.etc or http:\\etc.etc and other
defective variants are not treated as clickable links.
