I know this may sound silly but try to change the usb cable. It sounds dumb but once in a while you win one. I had a similar problem and after weeks of tearing out what hair i have left it was a bad cable.
Also, in the salt environment those contacts get sometime get gunked up, Especially after any period of storage in a humid climate. I had that problem also.
Beware though if you start spraying that contact cleaner around---contact cleaner does not like plastic. It eats it! It will disolve fittings and even your radio. Use some on a Q tip. And et it dry before you re connect.
I have used Airmail for years under native Boot Camp XP and it works fine. I do NOT have the USB Modem so that could be a factor but I doubt it.
When there is trouble I ALWAYS blame it on XP.
Good Luck.
