Same here, I have about 5.6 GB of mails (~400k). notmuch can handle them with no problems at all. The first indexing may take some time (~30mins) but subsequent indexing takes just a couple of milliseconds on my machine (Core i7 with an SSD and 12GB RAM). I haven't found any other mail indexer that is as fast as notmuch. However, notmuch *only* works with *maildirs*. If you use the mbox format, notmuch will not work. See here [1] for more details on what to do. Cheers Till [1] https://notmuchmail.org/howto/
