It sounds as if there is a problem opening the database. Try going to Event
View for Windows Application logs and see if there are ESENT errors. If so
and the error is error 5 (access denied) then there is a permissions issue
on the directory that WinMail is trying to access. You will need to perhaps
take ownership of that directory and then change the permissions to remove
the errors.
