Hi Adam, You need to delete the .mboxCache.plist. Why you can't find it is a hidden file… 1. Quit Mail and try this on the command line (Terminal.app) to find them: 2. Open a Terminal window and paste this in: find ~/Library/Mail -name .\* It should only find cache files like '.DS_Store', '.mboxCache.plist', '.OfflineCache', '.dontIndex', and '.index.ready'. If so, and if everything is backed up, run: find ~/Library/Mail -name .\* -delete NB: Don't run this if the first listing looks like it's showing e-mails. I also recommend checking that you have a backup first. 3.Now launch mail and select "Mailbox:Rebuild" from the menu.
