Your Mail Index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail.
This is the second time in two weeks this has happened. Last time, it worked (Mail says it has to import messages) BUT: I end up with 35,000 unread emails, when I had 73 before!
I have 7 email accounts here, all running IMAP, 1 gmail.
We've had lots of little transient electrical drops lately but the APS seems to catch them almost instantly.
Is there some alternate way for me to avoid the Import action? Some other way to rebuild the index w/o doing this import?
What is Mail doing using an import? Where is it importing from?
I am not a clued up user as you might realise. I do not get nor can a search find a library folder nor any of the other files you have mentioned
The screenshot I have is
Sorry to be so basic.

Why repeated "Your Mail index has been damaged" errors?
In my Mail.app (running on a white MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard) I frequently (sometimes daily) get the "Your Mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail." messages. Either letting the system repair or just Force Quit & restarting then I'm away again, but only for a few hours or days.
Any ideas how to debug what's causing this? It's making Mail totally unusable.
I use IMAP for about 5 accounts with this app. I don't have any problems with other Mail clients.

Your mail index has been damaged
I recently upgraded my I-max to Yosemite. Now my email is not working. Says" Your mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit mail. Your mail boxes and messages will be preserved".
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Launch Mail. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Your mail index has been damaged. should I delete all of my Envelope Index files?
When I attempt to launch mail, it begins by telling me that I need to import messages. Then it says upgrading mail database, then migrating data, then upgrade failed, click continue to launch mail assistant. When you click on that, the next message that comes up is your mail index has been damaged and will be fixed the next time Mail launches, only it doesn't. I go through the entire process again. Someone last night said something about deleting the Envelope Index files. Should I get rid of all of them? The person mentioned 3 of the files (Envelope Index, Envelope Index-wal, Envelope Index-shm), but I have 15 files altogether.
I should add that several of the Envelope Index files are in two different places; the bulk are in Library/Mail/V2-Temp.noindex/MailData/, the rest are in Library/Mail/

I just got my iPhone 4 yesterday after having a Blackberry for 3 years. Everytime I try to download any type of application it keeps displaying "Your Apple ID has been disabled." Before activating my iPhone I downloaded the most recent iTunes. I even went back today I reset my password after some minor research made the suggestion. I sent an e-mail off to to Apple last night after their Apple tech was no help at all. He is the one that suggested the e-mail and that he could not help me. I am really frustrated at this point. I am hoping that someone will be able to help me out. I was extremely excited about getting my new iPhone 4 and now I am just over it! Help please!!!

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing. -
My icloud account is not verifying it says check my mail witch I have done and I get a message say your iPhone for has been used to set up and Icloud account but still can not use the icloud can anybody help me.
Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account. Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox. The email you should receive looks like the image below. When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
If it still isn't there, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right look for a link to resend the verification email. -
Is this e-mail a scam: "Your Apple Information has been updated."
Can anyone steer my the right way or let me know if this is a scam? I think yes...
I got an e-mail titled "Your Apple Information has been updated." is this a scam? The content says: The following changes to your Apple ID (my ID) were made on June 15, 2014 at 5:40:30 PM (GMT): Shipping and/or billing address If you need additional...
I didn't know where to post this either. Obviously, this is why I could be an easy sucker for a scam if I can't even figure out where to posty my question online!Forward it to [email protected] (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933).

is it possible to change my ipad-3 back panel as it has been damaged in the corners and how much does it cost me.
Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.
The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)
Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.

Adobe Reader could not open 'images rest 12-4.jpg' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
that is the message how do i correct this problemIt sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X
