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.
