Hi Karsten,

  I had problems in mailboxes with more then 5000 messages. They
were very slow to open.

  I solved it with a procmail rule that timestamps it...

  Now I have monthly taged mailboxes. (Spool-2002-01, Spool-2002-02...)

  I know it is not what you asked, but it can solve your problem.

  Regards,
    Pedro

Sample procmail file:
--- begin ---
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/Spool-`date +%Y-%m`
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from-`date +%Y-%m`
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-user\@
deb-user-`date +%Y-%m`

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*some-mailing-list\@
low-trafic-mailing-list-`date +%Y`

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*other-mailing-list\@
very-high-trafic-mailing-list-`date +%Y-%U`
--- end ---
