I need to know that because I do not want to get, save, copy or delete messages from any mailbox (of which I have many) not knowing if this could affect the ongoing rebuilding, interfering or corrupting that task. ANd thanks for any help and your attention.”

It’s not the mailboxes being corrupted, but rather getting them to be organized as they should be. If you are so concerned, then export your mailboxes to an external hard drive(so that they are not lost). They’d be saved as a file. Then, remove and add the account back, as recommended by @vpiphonelover
