Cor that's a lot of emails - ever thought of having a clear out rather than having to keep pushing the technnical capabilities of the mail client? ;)

There is also a report about IMAP and large mailboxes at https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3762 .
A fix for that one will be available soon.

Clearing out wouldn't work for my job. Large mailboxes are a faster (offline) search for bugreports than using the online bugzilla's query.cgi. :-P

Hmh yeah I'd definitely be interested by modest keeping up with large (the “> 10k mails” large) folders. I try to move (server side) mails to subfolders, but I still have all my personal mails in the Inbox one. The solution to move all them to an InboxArchive folder doesn't really look fine for me but...

Re: Email/Modest Question (IMAP vs. POP)
 
why not use an alternative mailbox bound to your phone as I set up?
my ad hoc gmx.com email address retrieves the emails from other providers (even multiple ones) through IMAP/POP3 (Mail Collector feature), and then you can download them to Modest via IMAP, deleting them all after reading if you wish, to keep it clean and fresh, or keeping just the important/personal ones...
(tip: it's possible to get all the emails in the Inbox folder instead of the 'Mail Collector'-special folders, look between the account settings)

may help some people :-)

Because I'd like not to have a specific config for one device. I know n900 is a mobile device, but it interests me a lot *because* it's said to be a real computer. Modest on n810 has problem keeping up with the mailbox size, and I really wish it would do better...
