The heavy approach is to delete the database and its backup.

Try this instead. Add your mail account a second time so you have two
copies of it. Then remove the first copy that was default, so you are only
left with the new one. Then see if that fixes it.

So go to Tools | Accounts | Add | Mail and add your mail account again and
choose not to download it at this time at the end. Then go to Tools |
Accounts and make that second account the default. Then select the first
account and remove it. Then close and reopen WinMail and see what happens.
