What you're describing here might be fixable by a Typical Rebuild, which does indeed fix messages scurrying out of order and such-like. It's most definitely worth a try, without rushing to an Advanced. And Typical rebuilds are "harmless" - nothing whatsoever will be amiss. All links are maintained, cached news and IMAP messages left as they are, etc. MLM never runs twice on the same messages in the Inbox (to avoid perpetual loops), but should work fine on future messages. And Typical Rebuild will give you your best indicator, as you're asking. of whether an Advanced is needed. If it doesn't fix things, you need to do the Advanced. Even the Advanced is pretty easy to take compared to a Complex rebuild back in OE. It really doesn't mess around with things all that much anymore. You'll basically just lose your links and will have to re-download IMAP messages if you want to re-read them which is no big deal. (mark the others as read.) It no longer puts your regular Rules or the folders they're set to out of commission, nor interfere with your Groups, or anything like that.
