If you don't want to lose messenger, then I would recommend installing a tweak utility that -breaks- the tie in with OE. I ran into the same problem and it is not exactly new. I think they started doing this last year. Anyways, I use Express Assist to back up my mail, but it won't run if OE is running. Even when OE was NOT running or even messenger, I would get this error. They tie everything together pretty well now. Well, unticking "automatically start..." did not work for me. However, there is a setting in the tweak utility "Xsetup" which specifically breaks this tie in "feature". Everything works fine still, but you just have to click the appropriate shortcut to load the app you want. You can get Xsetup here:

Be careful not to do anything you don't understand with this program. It is simple to use and explains everything. It also warns you if you are about to do something that might disable your system. So don't get to paranoid about using it, but just be careful. It has lots of neat tweaks.
