Would be nice if there would be a tool which also keeps the threads in
one file; I know I could do it with 'mutt' (thread sorting the Mbox,
tagging from top to down certain messages and saving them), but a cmd
line tool would be better. 

I will run into the same 2GByte trouble too, because I'm keeping with a
filter any incoming message in a local folder 'backupIncoming' because our
Exchange server is emptying the trash every now and then :-(
