Groupwise 7 - OLE Error 80004005

Several users that connected to Groupwise fine up until today are trying to log in and seeing an OLE Error 80004005.  It refers to Groupwise not initializing successfully.  Suggestion to run GW setup or contact system administrator.  Research on the web revealed Novell's Group states error 80004005 is unspecified and has no fix or solution.  
I tried to log in the same users on another PC and got the same error.  So I don't think it is Groupwise setup on the pc.  I am the System Admin. and am wondering what to try next.  Should I just reboot the server?

First step would be to reboot the server but I don't think that will be the solution.

Have you run any maintenance on mailboxes/post office?

Can you login to GroupWise with different users and see some get the error and some not?  If some can, obviously they are likely fine.  Those who cannot, we can try some different maintenance with GWCheck on just their user accounts/mailboxes.

Let me know.
it's an issue with the mailbox that cannot be corrected using traditional means.

I've had to archive everything, delete the mailbox, recreate the mailbox, change the mailbox FID to the original and then archive everything in order to fix it.
Not knowing what exactly the corruption was...you've fixed the problem in the correct way.  A bit of a pain but that was correct.
