You can try putting (make-variable-buffer-local 'auto-save-interval) in your .emacs file and see if that does the trick. The growing size of the mail folders is precisely why I have implemented external messages (formerly called "headers-only" messages). They are available for IMAP right now. In due course, they will be available for local folders as well via the maildir format. Cheers, Uday
