Alright, I've done it in the past, but to make sure I'm not doing
something wrong, I looked it up in the PM manual and it states clearly :
launch PowerMail with the option- and command-keys down. This will
invoke PowerMail's built-in recovery facility known as PowerMail First Aid.
I have said so in the past and now again - this does NOT work for me
(any longer).
I can try it from the dock or in the Finder, I hold down the keys before
even touching the PM icon, just to make sure I'm fast enough (who
knows, maybe age IS beginning to show).
No matter what I try, First Aid will NOT launch.
Using PM 5.5.2 and have this problem probably since 5.2 - and now I need
it, got a fat folder but no unread messages in there.
Any ideas why PM just refused to open in First Aid mode?
Thanks,

Marlyse,
it works perfectly for me.
I start PM and then I press cmd option and immediately the repair dialog
comes up.
I run PM 5.5.3 which is the current version I believe on Mac OS 10.4.10
on a G4 Powerbook.
all the best

Try dragging your copy of Powermail to the trash and installing a fresh,
up to date copy. You won't lose any mail, as it is kept in the
'Powermail Files' folder in the 'Mail' folder in your 'Home' folder. The
only thing you have to watch is to transfer your latest Spamsieve
application from within the Powermail app folder, if you keep Spamsieve
bang up to date.
I have had very occasional spurious problems that have been solved this way.

thanks Cotty for the suggestion, as I was asking for any ideas how to
solve the problem - I am not doubting that it will work for (most) others.
as I've just completely re-installed my powerbook a couple of months
back - like, FRESH installed, nothing migrated - I SHOULD be good, but
at this pint I think I'll try trashing all prefs and app and re-install
from scratch, lets see if that does the trick.
