Selecting a mail folder and showing properties using the right-mouse
context menu, there is a check box to index the body of the messages.
Is that checked? If so, try to uncheck it for these big mail boxes.
What about using mail filters to organize your mail in a way that an
mbox file does not swell to several Giga-bytes?!
