"Rebuild sort indices" from the First Aid dialog rebuilds the sort index
by date, subject etc that is used when you change the sort column. On
some rare circumstances, this index can become corrupted, and the
consequence is that some messages may disappear from their folder.
"Rebuild index" from the file / database menu rebuilds the search index,
which is used when searching with FoxTrot (but currently not used by the
"view only").
"Compact database" is the same in the First Aid dialog and in the File /
Database menu: it compacts the mail, address and settings databases.
"Compact index" from the File / Database menu compacts the FoxTrot search
index.
