Have you ruled that out? Nothing in your message seems to indicate that you have. Second, is your wife also running FreeBSD? What version of FreeBSD? What version of alpine? You have provided scant details, and this makes it very difficult to diagnose the issue. Snark aside, have you ruled out disk failure? Disks die like flies. Make sure you have a proper backup. If the disk has failed, the inbox may be getting corrupted, and then would not be in a valid format.
