Size matters: A Mail inbox challenge
Justin Blanton has over 22,000 emails in his Mail.app inbox. He wonders if Apple Mail has an upper limit, and has started a competition to discover who has the largest useable (i.e. not archived) mail box.
My largest active mailbox only has 11,682 messages in it, so I won’t win. But you might.

I had about 9000 emails in my inbox, but when I upgraded to Mail 2.0, it stopped noticing new messages in my inbox. I ended up moving all my mail to another mailbox, and I hope Mail will be able to deal with it.

Ha ha – I have 36 emails. I nearly hyperventilate if I have more than 50 emails in my inbox. I have 250GB of SATA hard drive space and only 9GB is used. I’m storage-phobic in a huge way. Ha ha ha.
What does someone DO with 10,000+ emails in an inbox? Thay can’t all be useful! Can they?
