You may very well be correct ...
But I've seen WebShots cause all kinds of problems with our Windows boxes down work ...  
I've had this kind of thing happen to me and I've usually found that some system DLL got corrupted in memory or another mismatched DLL 
was loaded that screwed things up ...

The question I have is this:  When this occurs and before you clean out your PMMail folders does the corruption happen immediately when 
you open PMMail ???  I have a TON of mail in PMMail that I don't archive ... and I've noticed that PMMail loads slower and slower as I keep 
saving mail ... Which tells me that when opening PMMail some sort of reading of the folders is going on behind the scene ... So I'd think that if 
PMMail was responsible for your problem it would manifest itself right away after opening PMMail ...

See above ...

I don't know if any of this helps but I thought I'd throw it out here ...
