I was probably the first one to encounter this problem. This was clearly caused by new indexing engine introduced with PM5. I hope CTMDev is taking a hard look at this.
In my case, PMSalvage ($50!) did not help, but just wasting my two days to find it couldn't transfer most of my mails in Japanese. You might not have this problem if no multi-byte message in your dB. I ended up with exporting from PM5, importing to PM4, rebuild database then reimport back to PM5. Since then, PM5 has been working just fine. The entire process took me 10 days. I do not believe my PM4 database was somewhat less than kosher. My strong believe was that PM5 background indexing in some point made a few old messages corrupted. -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]> <[PROTECTED]>
