Hmm. I have a local folder with more than 120,000 messages. Opening this=20
folder (with threading, but without grouping) takes about 25-30 seconds=20
using KMail 1.13.6 on openSUSE 11.4. Given the large amount of messages=20
and that I only very rarely look into this folder I think the time is=20
acceptable. Of course, your mileage may vary.
