Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default
Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named
Identity (File > Identities > Add new identity). Assuming all is
well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import
messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete
the old one (File > Identities > Manage Identities).
To avoid such corruption in future:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and
frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while
"working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm
- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also
cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional
protection.
