Hello,

I'm seeing the following error on a server:

File isn't in mbox format: /home/foo/mail/Trash

The Trash file is full of the following at the beginning:

^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^

I've repaired the file several times, but this keeps happening. Would any of you mind offering me some insight into what could be causing this and how to fix it?

This is a known problem with v0.99.x. The mbox code has been rewritten in 1.0rc versions and it doesn't have this problem, so I'd just suggest upgrading.
