Thanks, Ronni, as usual you come up with a simple solution. I will

Due to some unknown perturbation Mail needs all mailboxes rebuilt.
As I have a complex hierarchical mailbox filing system, working
thorough them all is offputting to say the least.
Is there a way to do a blanket rebuild? Recovering from my
TimeMachine backup is not an option, too many things have happened
since I discovered this need.
Hi Severin,
Have you tried quitting Mail, deleting the Envelope file and
restarting Mail. This forces a rebuild that produces a leaner,
faster email experience.
" ~/Library/ Mail and drag the file Envelope Index to the Trash.
When you launch Mail again, it’ll tell you that you need to
“reimport” all your messages
Let it do so—it’s recreating your envelope index from scratch, you
won’t lose any data, such as labels or message status"
There is also a little App "VacuumMail 0.9.6" that can be used as a
regular application or automated through the included LaunchAgent
for use with Launchd.
<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/email_chat/vacuummail.html>
"An AppleScript application that performs the “vacuum” command on
Apple Mail’s underlying SQLite EnvelopeIndex database."
"VacuumMail is designed to be incorporated into an automated
maintenance routine and run at regular intervals. This is the
purpose for the Launch Agent included in this install package. The
Launch Agent utilizes Apple’s launchd process to schedule regular
vacuuming of Mail using VacuumMail."
Cheers,
Ronni
