|   That has become much faster, however it could be still improved.

It works ok on folders up to 12000 messages here. Let's say, switching time 
less than 8 sec.
(Pentium/III, 128MB RAM)
But for folders with 15000+ messages, I guess it can be improved.

Of course, on slower machines limit is much lower.

I am wondering if there is an option of Archiving folders?
I have some folders with old mails which would like to archive.
But, I need to have access to their content - while it can be at lower speed, 
of course.
(yes, this is Bugs folder with 14016 messages from 2000, for example)
Running bzip2 or gzip on those folders decreases size by 10x fold.
But bzip'ed folder becomes unaccessible to KMail...  :-(
