A lot of these messages are from mailing lists and it would be nice to
be able to archive them in some sort of offline store, so they could be
searched but wouldn't take up resources when they aren't being used. 
Also, several of the lists I subscribe to I only use on occasion.  Maybe
just an option to mark a folder as "Inactive"?  That way mails could
still be filtered into them but they wouldn't be indexed or use memory
until they are marked as "Active".
