Windows version? Did you just install AVG? Did you choose a custom install
of AVG without the email scanning part? What anti-virus application did you
have before you installed AVG?


Your current Identity may have been damaged by AVG or a previous install of
an anti-virus application, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try
one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities
Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages from the old
Identity before deleting it (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

What anti-virus do you have?
Are you sure it is not set to scan email?
