You should not allow the folder size to grow too much for any mailer. I 
keep it split into pieces, like tlug tlug.0 tlug.1 etc.

I did not see any problems (I use pine) but it would be useful to enter 
the folder with a text editor and look for messages with ID 
"6d79206c6974746c-aAzQ54TRRcg11FJ3OCGpZIeKlevqwCZs at public.gmane.org" and delete them. You should be 
able to do that with vim. The messages appear between 8.April and 
29.April . The messages are originated by me ;-(. There was a problem 
with the message-id generation in my system and all messages I posted 
between 8 April and 29 April had the *same* message ID. This should not, 
but might bomb Thunderbird. So maybe try this.

sorry, this was not supposed to happen [tm],
