The inbox is prone to corruption as it is a high traffic folder, every
message that you download (with a pop3 account) first gets into your
inbox before the sorting office has its way with it. Large files with
lots of write actions are more vulnerable than large files with
(relative) few write actions. Especially when those actions can be
complicated by a virus scanner or things like that.

However, I wouldn't advice to store 100000 messages in a single
folder, TB tends to slow down with more than 20000 messages in a
folder (that's without attachments).
