No, I don't see it either.  I only see the "Generating message list" if
I do a search in a large folder or on the whole account.  Are you
restricting the list of messages displayed in anyway?  i.e. is there a
search active or have you got the "Show:" dropdown set to anything other
than "All Messages"?  What about View -> Show deleted messages, is that
ticked?
