This is a sure sign of a corrupted database file.  If you execute this
Python code:

    import whichdb
    whichdb.whichdb(r"c:\path\to\your\database\file")

what does it report?  I suggest you rename it (in case someone wants to look
at it) and restart your training.  Since you're using pop3proxy I suggest
you use the pickle format.  To do this, add these lines to your ini file:

    [Storage]
    persistent_use_database: False

Make sure you move your corrupt database out of the way first.
