Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
When folders approach 2+GB data and 15+K messages, all activities which involve folders access become slower and slower, taking tens of seconds also during message retrieval with POP3. The larger the folder content, the slower the access. I argued it was because of folder implementation as mbox files. Thus I applied a "trick" to store all email in maildir format (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/56412) and it's now working great (with XFS file system). There should be a way to define folders are maildirs "natively" (that is with no trick) if not eliminating the mbox format completely.
