....recently needed to rebuild email on our MAC because it wasn't loading or working after getting MAC screen replaced. While the rebuild was processing I put Mac in sleep mode before bed last night and thought that the emails would keep rebuilding until done-but it started over back to 0 -when I just logged in this morning. At 5k loaded right now.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6
You will have to prevent sleeping in order to rebuild a mailbox. Otherwise, the connection will time out.
With that many e-mail messages, I recommend archiving them to an MBOX file. You can carry that file from computer to computer as you upgrade/migrate and re-import them. Only keep that last couple of years of e-mails on the server. That way, if you need to rebuild, there are far fewer e-mails to download.
