Try it with the p5-Palm 1.4.0 snapshot.

Hmmm... that looks like it's within the Mail.pm ParseRecord() method. It 
could be an old module or it could actually be corrupted database records. 
I've seen this happen with databases while doing conduit development and 
the p5-Palm modules are actually kinda bad at handling bogus/unknown 
database records.

Try:

	pdbdump -MPalm::Mail MailDB.pdb | more

in your ~/.palm/backup directory and see if the problem happens there. That 
would indicate a problem with either the database or the module rather than 
the conduit.

Hmmm... What mail app are you using?
