Yes, the crash occurs when reindexing your database. If you can't fix the
problem with the low level rebuild (and if disk utilities do not help),
you can disable indexing from the preferences, then export your database
to the PowerMail Exchange format. Note that, as somethings seems badly
corrupted in your DB, the export will probably crash as well, so the best
is to select all your folders, and export "the selected mail folder"; if
a crash occurs, the corrupted message is located in the last exported
mailbox. You can then export this folder in several steps, by selecting
groups of messages and exporting "the selected messages".
Once you have successfully exported all the non corrupted messages, quit
PM, remove the corrupted "Message Database" file from your PowerMail user
folder, relaunch PM, reactivate the indexing, and import the exported data.
