I have a similar setup (a single INBOX with ~25000 messages in it) that
I access through IMAP. Of course, the first time you run it it'll take
forever because it has to summarize it, but after that, IMAP is quite
quick for me. There's the overhead of actually downloading the message,
but that goes away once you read a message once as it is cached on the
local disk. I am using CVS HEAD, though. The main problem I've seen
recently is a bit of lag in the GUI when new messages come in (the GUI
blocks for a second or two and then the message list loses its focus).
VFolders seem a little slow too and the number of unread messages isn't
being updated correctly, but I am just getting back into the swing of
using VFolders.
