OK, thanks for that info. The index file could of course be missing out of accident. Indexes are such things I, and I suspect many users with me, generally would expect to be rebuilt without user intervention in most cases. Wouldn't it be reasonable for PowerMail to offer to do a rebuild also in the case if it detects that the index file is actually missing? I would assume OS X itself already is telling PM that the file is missing when PM attempts to read it the first time. Please consider it a suggestion.
