I'm regularly seeing "sent" messages that, when I go back to see what
I sent (having poor sure term memory), seem to have the content from a
message a couple of years old and to a completely different recipient.
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? Mail v4.2 (1078), OS
10.6.3 on a 2.66 iMac. Thanks for any advice.

It looks like your indexing might be b0rked. Can you rebuild the
mailbase?

I don't actually know how; I use Eudora.

Close Mail. Go into (your home folder)/Library/Mail, and rename the
file "Envelope Index". Start Mail.

It'll worryingly pop up a window saying "Mail Message Import" but
actually it'll doing the right thing.

You can rebuild individual folder's indexes using Mailbox/Rebuild, but
the above is global and quicker.

to delete files copied to the desktop, and you don't need to throw away the
computer and get a new one once the desktop is full. -- Peter Corlett, ASR
