Well you could add more memory. Or you could change the mailbox format to
mbx. As part of the imapd package there are programs called mbxcreat and
mbxcvt which let you create and convert mobx mailboxes to mbx
respectively. The downside with mbx as with all non-standard mailbox
formats is that you have to change your MDA. The imapd package also
includes two programs called tmail and dmail which can be used for this
purpose.
