Generally there is no way to fix a malformed database, so you will need to rename the C:\Users_userrname_\AppData\Roaming\eM Client directory and start again.

but how comes that there is a malformed database? I have a similar problem but I need my data back… how to restore manually? all data saved on hard drive only. I don’t trust other forms of storage (Imap, clouds and those “newer” techniques…)

My error message:

You can try running the database repair tool manually, but I don’t think it will make any difference. You will find it at C:\Program Files (x86)\eM Client\DbRepair.exe

But there is not really any way to recover from that other than to restore from your last backup. If you are using POP3 then you absolutely need to make regular backups. At least with IMAP or Exchange all eM Client does is provide a cached copy of what is on the server, so if the database is corrupt you can always resync with the server. With POP3 the messages are generally deleted from the server so there is no second copy anywhere.
