Speaking from personal experience, having big folders make the mail client quite slow even for simple tasks like opening a folder. I got into the habit of periodically (usually once a year) moving old messages to a separate subfolder. This has the consequence of tremendously speeding up the compacting process -- since the bulk of messages are in folders that *never change*, only the "working" folders are compacted. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
