I have to say that I am confused because I remember you saying that the
problem was with a gmail account which should have been imap and in the
imap subdirectory and not the local subdirectory.

I don't access my gmail that way... although I suppose I could. I
configure every account as a POP server and download all my emails to a
local file on my machine.

As indicated above, you have an INBOX like a cesspool and you don't
break it down into subdirectories which is really what you need to do
and not allow your INBOX or any subdirectory to get that big.

If you read my initial post, you would note that I have about 25 email
folders that all my mail gets sorted into. All the unsorted email, ie
general stuff, ends up in Inbox. There is no "cesspool" in my system.
I find the filters in Evolution work very well. That is why I use it.
