Can't see sent emails

Question

Can't see sent emails

I have four email accounts (POP) in Apple Mail and cannot view any of the sent emails for of the addresses. It shows there is over a gig of emails in the folder, but will not load them. The other email addresses can show all sent messages individually, athough non load if trying to view all account at the same time.
Is this due to the size or corruption?
Would appreciate some clever answer I haven't though of. Please.

I'm not sure if this applies to the version of Mail you are using, but you should try to rebuild each tent Mailbox. If you go into the Sent mailbox for each individual account, and then choose to Rebuild from the Mailbox menu (it might be in a different place in your version of Mail, sorry). Do that for each sent mailbox for each account and that should solve the problem.

So close, yet so far. Good idea, but unfortunately the rebuild facility is greyed-out when the problematical 'sent' mailbox is highlighted on this particular email address.

I think I may need another mail programme to load or look into this folder...

Cheers,
