Hello and thank you for your answer.
Are you using imap? - I don't think it is a communication problem, the disk
is working continuosly for minutes, whenever I delete a message. Isn't it
because the mailbox file is text, so accessing a certain message takes a
long time? The e-mail client is MS Outlook Express version 5.0 and the long
delay occurs whenever I use the command PURGE.
Did anyone encountered this problem?

I have much bigger mailboxes & folders with no problem
Check your client and network configuration - backresolving issues
can slow things down considerably , so can a bad network link and a bad
client.
