For the first time ever I am rebuilding a mailbox because it just isn't working properly. I clicked on the mailbox and then Mailbox in the Toolbar and then "rebuild." Am I supposed to see something happening because I don't.

OK, I looked it up again and found I can go to Windows - Activity and watch the progress. It only took a few seconds!! I hope it worked.

My experience rebuilding mailboxes never took more than a few seconds. I have my fingers crossed that solved your problem.

OK, good. I've heard it could take a long time but that must be for people who keep all their old emails which I don't.
