Yes. I like your idea of automatically storing mailing list messages in 
a separate physical folder. I think we should do that (per default - of 
course that should be configurable). That would solve this issue of 
excessively large folders.

I don't think many people would able to read/write more than 20000-50000 
emails per year. That would be an email every 2 minutes, 8 hours a day, 
every work day, all the time. I think 10k per year are realistic. Just 
to keep things in perspective.

We're getting a bit off-track, though :).
