Ed,

Many thanks, never any end to what I learn for I had NO idea this was the case. Knowledge is power, one day I hope to get some.

What the rebuilding of the mail box does is allow mail to associate all the emails that the mail data base is keeping track of. While get a lot of email i never keep anything much in mail and use Command+K to delete all emails in the trash after every time i read all my mail a simple delete does not stop the mail database from keeping track of your mail.

Ed,

Question. I began walking through the mailboxes and with each one I did the "rebuild". For instance in one folder I had 14 messages, after doing the rebuild I had 76 messages. The same type thing happened on several boxes. What is going on and where are these messages coming from if they have been deleted and then removed from the trash many months ago?

Ed,
How do you "rebuild" your mailbox? Is that like "Resetting Safari?"

Another tip on mail is to rebuild your mailbox every so often. It
depends on how much mail you get and how much you delete. For me I
rebuild my mailboxes once a month.
