Just for your information, with my set up of about 350000 messages (far less than a third of what Patrick and Steven have). My startup was around 10 minutes, too, like theirs. So, I think it's more about the chunks of data MailMate needs to keep in memory at a time rather than how much data in total.
You could also try the debug variable I told Patrik about if you want to get a better idea of what is taking the most time (I'm not saying the output is very readable though -- it's mainly intended for my own use when debugging performance issues).
I don't know what database you are using, but many of the better ones have a whole set of "queries" that you use instead of the basic one that are designed to bring in a part of the data at a time and as you use the data releases the memory and rolls in more automatically, thus reducing memory thrash. I cannot recall the name for those kinds of queries and they are not that easy to use, but may be necessary to resolve these issues. I believe the Apple Developer standard database does have those, but I am not totally certain.
MailMate has its own “database” system. I don't really think it could do what it does now with any off-the-shelf solution (while being able to handle the same types of queries). If that sounds a bit arrogant then I can live with that :-) (I'm not saying it couldn't be better though.)
