Don't know about large mailboxes, but I tried Sylpheed-claws (its
in extras) and liked it better than any of the other mailers
I've tried so far. (I especially like that it won't display html
mail unless I go to a lot of trouble to install an html plugin,
which I haven't done since I don't want to see that crap,
and especially don't want to inform the spammers that I
opened their mail because the html referenced some external link :-).
