[QUOTE="michelangelo, post: 1944604, member: 54225"] Randy, thanks for your message. After spending part of the day trying to rebuildt mailboxes, I can better explain the issue I face. Initially, the left pane of the "Mail" window contained: (i) on the top portion my "favourites" like "Draft", "Incoming", "sent", smart boxes and other boxes containing in-sync emails. (ii) in the middle portion "On my mac" containing emails ordered in mailboxes, no longer synced, organised with flippy triangles; (iii) On the lowest part my real inboxes, imap, separated from each other and each with its accompanying set of ancillary boxes. (synced). By exploded, I mean the inbox on the top, instead of containing the incoming mail for my 12-ish imap mail accounts is greyed out and does not contain any mail (neither the "received" email nor the "Sent" email the way macs do): Also, most mailboxes that I created for filing emails "on my mac" have moved to the tom, to "Favorites" and contain messages imap-synced with my still-imap emails of the top portion. Some boxes contain up to 16000 messages (160 Mb) and take a lot of time to rebuild, in view of the fact they need to re-download all 16000+ messages as part of the rebuilding process. I even found (and stopped) legacy mail actions still operatives auto-filing mailing lists (as ws done in the days of Claris Emailer), except that the auto-filing was done on the IMAP server, the auto-filed messages remaining in Sync after their silent filing (no auto-file log here to check on them as we should). I expect this phase may take about a week. The above describes what I need to do, with the intent, after rebuilding the databases, to remove over 99% of in-sync mail and store them "into my mac". Question arising is: "How to separate synced mailboxes (by IMAP) from "on-my-mac" mailboxes (no longer in sync). [/QUOTE]
