Huh. You know, Mhonarc has something that it calls "database" which is
actually a bunch of Perl files with a dump of internal variables
describing the mailbox. The fact that it has to read and keep in memory
all those files is the reason it doesn't scale well past a month's worth
of email. Perhaps it could cope with a year, provided you have a lot of
RAM; but clearly it won't work well if we want to handle our complete
archive.
