Great question.

At my firm, we wrote rotation tools that work for mbox format to rotate
inboxes monthly if they are over a certain size.  We also do the sent
items folders.

We find that large inboxes are bad for the server and bad for the client
because the MUAs just don't handle it well either.  1 or 2GBs and you
start to see issues.

After a little bit of user training, they like it.  Part of the routine
maintenance they need.
