Comment on Rebuild your database and speed up Mail.app by Phil Dokas

I found out the hard way this weekend that the location of the Mail indexes have moved in 10.7. You can still quit Mail, delete the index files, and then relaunch Mail to have it regenerate them.

The new location is:

~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/

And now instead of just one file called “Envelope Index”, there are at least three files. The two new ones are “Envelope Index” suffixed with a dash and three letters.

So to rebuild in 10.7 you do this:

1) Quit Mail
2) rm ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope\ Index*
3) Relaunch Mail
4) Allow Mail to rebuild your email indexes

Hey Hawk – this guy’s version of 10.6.4 does not work. It downloads as a .zip file instead of a dmg.

fyi

Great to see you back, Tim! Nice tip. Apple’s gone crazy with these real-world-emulating interfaces.

Hey, SparklyBalls, thanks for taking the trouble to post. I did not know that (I am somewhat behind the times!)

Thanks SO much for this! A restart of Mail.app is required, and then… non-animated bliss!
