A possible fix for a slow Mail.app
One thing to note though for the original Hint poster... He was connecting to Exchange which is a very important clue... The Public Folders section of Exchange servers can be massive and they automatically will Synch and downlaod to your Computer in Mail... Here on an Exchange server some one with a new mail box (Enveloppe Index is not an issue and doesn't fix anything, no more than a rebuild does since its a new account with no mail and a new config aon a new Mac) can experience massive slow downs simply because of Public Folder synch and storage on the computer. What the deletion of the Exchange server config did was to remove the reference to the folders in ~/Library/Mail. It doesn't remove the content. So when Mail checks the fodlers and content when loading it still keeps checking all those folders since their in its INdex and Mail folder. So... in his case it was a great improvement since deleting the index meant that it wasn't checking all of his old Exchange "ghost" folders including public folders and they were not in the index anymore.

Oh .. forgot to add what the rebuild does for IMAP accounts.

What is the "Rest of the Story" to "As for Exchange there is a trick to not have the public folders checked in Mail, but that's another story..."?
