PMail crashing only when opening IMAP Inbox - RESOLVED

OK.  Fixed it myself by rebuilding cache of Inbox.  Sorry for time wasted.

Hi.  My University's more or less entire online presence crashed on Monday from a problem with their Storage Area Network systems.  Services were gradually restored over 24 hours, including email.  Now I find that Pegasus (4.51) can log in to the IMAP server, get a count of mails in the Inbox, and interact normally with messages in any folder underneath the Inbox.  However, if I open the Inbox itself, Pegasus downloads the 500-odd messages there but then displays an empty folder, crashes with an IMAP error and eventually shows a Visual C++ Runtime Library error about a buffer overrun.  I get exactly the same result at home (Win XP Pro x64) and at the univ (Win XP Pro x32).  Webmail works fine, however, with all folders, including the top-level Inbox.  Clearly something has happened to my IMAP mailbox, since two independent Pegasus installations have stopped working.  Tech support don't do Pegasus - we're supposed to use Outlook - and have asked me to stick with webmail for now and look for help from the Pegasus community.  Any ideas, anyone?
