This is one of the reasons I use IMAP instead of POP. If my local machine gets 
messed up, the remote server’s database is probably still okay. When there’s a 
problem, I just delete the local account and create a new one. It will usually 
rebuild the indexes from scratch sans errors.

I also have a Google account I use for long-term storage. I connect to it with 
IMAP and drag the messages into it for archiving. For example, every message 
sent to this group from the very beginning up through 2015 is there.
