Basically, do not use Inbox as a long term repository for stored email.
If you need to keep email, store it in archive folders.

I would have to disagree with you on that Lee. That might have been
a problem in the old Netscape days, but its not now. I've had stuff
in my inbox for years, and never had a problem. Then again, my inbox
isn't over 2 gigs big either. But I do have other folders that are
about that big and still don't have problems.

Are there any reasons why you are maintaining such a large Inbox,
with such a large collection of, what must be, an arbitrary mixture
of messages, rather than as Lee and common sense logic would advise,
classifying the messages by some criterion and moving them into
separate folders.
A simple criterion might be by date! : Old-inbox-1998, Old-inbox-1999,
... etc.
what Lee has pointed out is old stuff. Inboxes has come a long way
since then. Having messages in your inbox does not cause any harm. The
only thing one must keep an eye on is compacting and size limit.
Otherwise, there is no other harm.
Mr. Potamus are you intentionally avoiding answering the question,
as posed?
Why! keep such a large monolithic Inbox?
Oh, and there is this niggling detail of THE SIZE LIMIT, which
you were the first to recognize. :-) as the dog that was biting
Terjes' ...
