Ouchluck???
You really should consider to switch to a real operating system 
(i.e. some kind of *ix, you may include MacOS X here.) and real 
mail handling software. A MTA like sendmail for mail transport,
procmail for filtering / sorting, mutt or balsa or ??? for reading 
and writing. This is the setup I use and I have no problems handling 
70MB mail boxes with 10k+ mails in it. 

And I am sure VMS can provide a mail environement that is equal in
usability to *ix. But, you know, VMS is "different".
