Re: [Evolution] expunge is very slow for me

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

The expunge operation isn't affected by the numbr of messages as much as
it is affected by the size of the mailbox you are expunging.

in order to expunge an mbox file, you must write all the messages that
are not to be deleted into a new mbox file and then move the new mbox
file over the old mbox file.
