Searching the MSDN database ( http://msdn.microsoft.com ) learns the 
following:

The 80004005 error message indicates that your data cannot be accessed. 
This error can be paraphrased as "I could not access your data for some 
reason."

This could mean a lot of things (corrupt data in your mailbox for 
example). What I suggest you to do is print out the subject and the 
folder of the mail your accessing and then examine the mail with another 
tool like OutlookSpy (try google) to find out what's wrong with it.
