Every time I launch Mail.app it shows the (first launch) Welcome dialog and tells me that to use new feature sin Mail it has to download my messages. I have many many messages in there and I know that it is not redownloading them so what gives?
OSX current and fully patched.
I checked disk perms and found plenty of issues with iBook.app and some with java but nothing with mail – none the less it's about time for a RepairPerms so I'm running it and bounce Mail.app to see if that fixes it. Nope.
Console.app reports a slew of errors for Mail.app (only showing the ones since after I ran RepairPerms and bounced Mail.app twice).

I'm hoping we don't get to #3 🙂

It could be an Issue with writing permissions. You could:
~Library/Mail/to another place, like the Desktop, and start Apple Mail again. Your Mailbox will be downloaded again and the V3 Folder will be recreated, but should be simply updated the next time you start Apple Mail again.
