Is the folder local or on an IMAP server? If local, is it stored as an mbox or as a Maildir? If it's local and an mbox then you could be hitting a limit on file sizes (2GB on some versions of Limux). Do you compact the folder after deleting messages? If not, the mbox doesn't get any smaller even though it appears to have few messages in it. That's why copying the folder and deleting the original works, so why not use File->Compact Folder, which does exactly the same thing?
