Linux is not Windows. Reinstalling a package is not generally going to
change anything unless the installation itself was somehow corrupted,
and there are ways of checking that, e.g. RPM-based systems can use "rpm
-V" and presumably there's something analogous in apt-based systems.

This is POP presumably. Older versions of Evo did baulk at mbox files of
over 2^31 bytes (2GB) because of the size of file pointers, but IIRC
2.32.x should no longer have this problem.

You *have* expunged your deleted files, right? If you haven't, that
Inbox is full of crud which you can at least clean out as a start.
