I had these issues until I understood that the deleted messages are not
deleted. They are simply hidden. Thus the mailboxes become huge and
unusable. There is no automatic purge of deleted messages. This is a
flaw in the design of Evolution.

Use the purge feature. I don't remember exactly where it is hidden. I
think it is in Folder=>Clean (or something like that).

Yes you are right. Using PostgreSQL to store the messages would make
more sense.

Kind regards,
