Hi Ricardo, Thanks for the pointer to Mailbag Assistant. This has allowed me to extract all the messages I want to keep. The only downside is it couldn't seem to extract embedded attachments (something that only applies to older messages though, I stopped letting The Bat do this some time ago).
It looks to me that perhaps the problem message causing the crashes was a spam mail with an enormously long subject line that was just full of random letters and symbols.
