Well, I think it happened when it was hung on 'Storing folder' when downloading messages for a very long time and I canceled it. The dialog hung and I brought the app down hard. Ok, generally not a good thing, but it was hung. After that I couldn't open my Inbox folder. I could open others though. After almost every receive mail action, I get errors storing folder. And the folder rotates around. Not always the same. The error dialog for that claims something about a 'column name'.

When downloading messages from a single POP endpoint, it goes into 'Storing folder (0%-100%)' over and over. Not sure what that is and why it does it every time.
