[X4U] Mail.app capacities

[Zane H. Healy]

I'm currently running on 10.3.9, though I'm not sure how much of an 
effect that will have on this.  Just how capable of handling mail is 
Mail.app?  I use Eudora Pro for my day to day email.  However I have 
a couple of administrative accounts that I use Mail.app to keep an 
eye on.  With only 12,596 messages in the one box, and 2727 in the 
other it is practically paralyzed.  It simply doesn't seem to be able 
to handle the load.  It takes a minute or more to load the larger 
box, and it will pop up the spinning beach ball when I click on some 
of the messages.  This is on a G5 2x2 with 3.5GB RAM, so it's not 
some puny machine.
