My Mail app (Mac OS X 10.2.6) is continuously searching, searching,
searching and Indexing, indexing, indexing, and I don't know how to
stop this. Doesn't matter what mailbox I open, it just keeps on and
shows the following:
"Found 0 matches for search ‹ Indexing 153 of 619: Tina Marie"
and when I open my "Sent" box many of my recent messages have the
following dialog attached to them:
"The message from (My account name) has not been downloaded from the
server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
which is absurd because I am always online and I never downloaded the
message since it was one that originated from myself. I can stop the
"Activity Viewer" stuff but it still goes on. What is this "Activity
viewer anyway? I don't find anything in the Prefs related to indexing
etc.
Has anyone had similar problems and/or can advise me what to do about
it. It's driving me nuts!!

This was just asked here last week, and it was suggested that it had
something to do with Norton Antivirus. Do you use that?

Thanks for that. Yes, in fact I do. However, the problem only surfaced
a few weeks ago and I've been using Norton Antivirus for much longer
than that. Maybe one of the latest upgrades is buggy. I will experiment
with turning it off (if I can).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Mail app problem |

I was the person who had the problem. I do not now and have never used Norton
Antivirus. I did follow another suggestion and rebuilt the mailbox containing
the offending messages and was then able to read them normally.

Thanks for the advice, but (perhaps a dumb question)‹how did you go
about rebuilding your mailbox?

Select a simple mailbox (not a compound one with a disclosure triangle)
and choose "Rebuild Mailbox" from the Mailbox menu.
