My mailbox at home is over 800MB and has lots of messages (probably of
the order of 100,000 - I tend to keep almost everything, just in case).

KMail (from KDE3.0, Mandrake 9.0) handles it well.

Here at work my mailbox is a more modest 334MB and contains only 23639
messages and KMail from KDE 3.2 (Mandrake 10.0) handles that without any
complaints either.

cheers!
Chris
