[X Newbies] Draft Box

[Norman Cohen]

Hi Deb,

Each "Mailbox" has an index file which allows for rapid 
sorting/searching of the text messages within the Mailbox folder. 
Occasionally this file, like any file, can become corrupted causing 
strange behaviors - double messages, disappearing messages, wrong 
message counts, etc. If you select the folder in the Mailboxes pane and 
choose Rebuild Mailboxes form the Mailbox menu, this index is recreated 
from scratch. Anytime you start having strange behaviors with message 
sorting, display, or other issues, it's a good idea to rebuild the 
mailbox.

Hope this helps,

Norm
