I had the exact same error today after a computer crash. After the message it stated also that my Index file was corrupt and if I wanted to re-index, which I did. The crash cost me todays email but else all seems now fine, I did not come across any further errors as you describe.
Did you try launching PM in maintenance mode? Anyways, before fiddling any further with the database, I'd make a backup copy of what you have currently... just in case. ---marlyse ------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- > I got this lovely message when starting PowerMail 5.5.3 this >afternoon.
