First, 2.30.3 is very old - I know it is the default in some of the
enterprise systems, but it is no longer supported, so you may not get s
full solution.

At that version I think the local mail folders are still mbox format -
so yes, if the folders get large it does take a long time to store
them.

How big is the inbox? (Both on disk and how many emails.)

Are you purging the deleted messages?

Are you showing the deleted messages? (i.e. turn off "hide deleted
messages.)
