I'm subscribed to lots of mailing lists. I use mutt for email. Now using emacs, I use mutt within emacs since I use IMAP and find it hard to use gnus (which kinda behaves like pine, being news-oriented). I archive some mailing lists and have some mailboxes, going nearly over 40MBs or more. Now loading mutt within emacs and loading such a big mailbox, loads okay but makes mutt slow under emacs.
What is the best way to use such big mailboxes? I do not like to convert to maildirs, I'm using mbox format. Though I heard that maildir is faster, isn't it harder to backup or carry around? Just a single mbox file is easy to carry if need be. But anyway, what's the best way to use large mailbixes?
