        You might want to give mbox format a try. imap-uw will use this format if
you perform a few tweaks described in the documentation that comes with it.
Basically, instead of the mailbox being in plain text it creates a type of
database at the top of the file that describes the contents. Makes access
much faster for large (> 1k letters) mailboxes.
