Hi Jin, this unfortunately seems to be a corrupt database on your computer, are you using an IMAP account(s), or do you have any local data saved in your current database?
Do you think you could send me your main.dat database file and the sqlite.log to my email [email protected] with a reference link to this forum topic?

To submit the database file to us, please navigate to your local folder > App Data > Roaming > eM client. The sqlite.log file should be in the Logs folder in this database folder.

Thank you,
Paul.

In case you’re not using any local data, you can create a new database which will unfortunately require you to setup all your accounts from scratch.
To setup a new database, rename or remove the eM Client database file in your Roaming folder and reopen the application, eM Client should automatically create a new database allowing you to setup the accounts.

Hope this helps,
Paul.
