This sounds like a permissions issue. Make sure that the IMail services are running on an account that has the proper permissions to access the database. If you are running SP4 or greater then it seems the system account does not have sufficient permissions for these operations in some situations. As a test you can set them up to use the logon you use to administer the server with.
