The update notification is referring to the skin plugin, not the skin itself. Your existing skin is compatible with the updated skin plugin and doesn't need to be updated (edit: referring to the *skin* that doesn't need to be updated). You can download the latest skin plugin here:

Yes, the skin notifier plugin is required.

So, presumably, PP is working OK with the skin plugin not installed? (edit: or is it still crashing when you get new email?)

What method are you using to update the skin?


This line is the most informative:
Faulting module name: NotifySkin.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4b4cbad7

Not only is the version specified as "0.0.0.0" (which is obviously bad), but the timestamp converts to "Jan 12, 2010" -- which just happens to be the date of Skin Notifier v3.6. So it seems that that old plugin version was still lingering around. I would suggest re-downloading and re-installing the skin notifier:

You lost the skin when you uninstalled POP Peeper. When you call it "your skin" -- do you mean a skin that you had created yourself, or a custom skin that you had downloaded:

It appears that the the skin author designed it that way (to open your email client on click). You'll need to modify the skin to change the behavior.

Here's what you need to change:
This comes from Blue_EN.ini (presumably, they are all similar); this is at the bottom; extra lines are to provide context:
[btnOpenClient]
Type = _TYPE_Button
Pos = 0 0
Command = _CMD_CLIENT

Change to:
Command = _CMD_OPENPP
