more economical clients (Kmail for a start).

In what way?  Our only overhead is indexes and summary files which are a tiny fraction of the actual message content.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as say "tiny".  20-30% is my experience with IMAP-stored email,
and 20-90% overhead on .evolution/mail/local email.

90% overhead?

Huh.  Please explain.

I'm lucky to get 5% for local mail and much less than that for imap email.

I must say, though, that it seems better in 1.5 than it did in 1.[0-4].

This is rubbish.  The files have got bigger in 1.5, although by a miniscule amount.  But they are definitely not smaller.
