My INBOX file has 22990 messages. Is the slowness that I am seeing definitely expected for an mbox of that size? (It may also be relevant that the HDD it's stored on is pretty old now, and has been known to report SMART errors...)
Yeah, a copy of that mailbox will be that slow, esp. if the messages have large attachments. Even a simple operation like deleting/expunging the the first message will cause data shuffling of the entire mailbox.
