My inbox was corrupted before, but in a different way. The today screen would show unread messages but no messages in the inbox when I opened messenger. The solution was to wipe out everything and resync. Painful and dangerous, but works. 1)do a full backup, 2)hard reset to wipe everything, 3)do a PIM backup on the empty database, 4)do a full restore, 5)do a PIM restore of the empty database, 6)sync data from PC. I keep the empty PIM backup file on my CF card now so the next time it happens I can start from step 5. Good luck.
