In Disk Utility, what information does it give about the format of your HD? The whole behavior you describe sounds very, very wrong. Is it specific to PowerMail? Or does another application give the same issues?
And I suggest to use Onyx for the repairs, a little more sophisticated in this case as it runs in OS X, rather than the underlying Unix core in which AppleJack operates. It feels to me like there is something wrong with the behavior of OS X.
