Hi Steve,

Thanks for the link.  I searched my mac for the word "Envelope" and did not see 
that there is an Envelope Index file in ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData.  I'm not 
sure why my search did not find that result.

Do you have an opinion on whether this procedure is a "good thing"?  Is it 
different than using the built-in "Rebuild" option in Mail?

Thanks again,

Gregg
