"Folder properties > rebuild index" is translated at "Index wiederherstellen", which is misleading in my opinion. "Wiederherstellen" does mean going back to some other state. Is is often used as a translation for "restore" and "undelete". In my case, I had to re-build the index because an older Thunderbird version had a bug and built the index with wrong received dates. So "wiederherstellen" (i.e. "restore"/"undelete") did not fit that usecase.

I suggest "Index neu erstellen" (literally "re-build index"/"build new index") as a more precise description.

Reproducible: Always
OS: Windows Vista → All
Hardware: x86 → All
Ich stimme zu, dass man nicht etwas altes wiederherstellt, sondern eine neue Indexdatei erstellt.

=> "Indexdatei neu erstellen"

Nach nochmaligem Überdenken:
=> "Index neu erstellen" 

und im Tooltip
=> "Indexdatei (*.msf) neu erstellen"

Auch en-US spricht im Tooltip vom "Summary File" (also wohl Mozilla Summary File = msf).
