Hi,

From what I've been able to find about this problem, try this:

Turn off background compaction under Tools\Options\Maintenance, and
then compact manually via File\Folder\Compact all.

Background compaction has been implicated in corrupting the message store, so its a good idea to leave it off.

Also take a look at the following articles:

Good luck,
