Ask the mailer hackers about this. They are stress testing Evo with a 1000+ MByte Inbox and mainly using vFolders for organizing mails. Dunno if they actually use mbox, though. ;) > On a sidenote this (IMHO) lack of functionality in Evolution made me set > up fetchmail + procmail and make Evo fetch it from there instead :-) That's what I use too and it definitively kicks ass for me: fetchmail, procmail with SA and a couple of rules, IMAP.
