Mail

[R. Welz]

Hallo.
I now want to switch my email handling from M$ Outlook to Apple's Mail. 
I manage over 60000 important emails in Outlook (subscribed email lists 
mostly concerning developing) and over the time its startup has become 
terribly slow. (It takes more than 30 seconds for the first start up 
during one computer session now).

My question is: will Mail become that slow too after a certain amount 
of stored emails? It could be that it is much faster for some reasons: 
first it is OSX native not emulated in Classic. Second I can imagine 
that Apple did a better job in managing the stored emails on the 
harddisk but this is only a guess. Somebody already having experience 
with say 30 - 40 thousand emails? Did start up become a remarkably 
slower?

Thanks for telling me your experience!

Greetings,
Robert
