That is the approach of Thunderbird.
Just to chime in, I concur that the 2 gig at once limit is a big
concern for me. As it stands now, I have to compress my mail database
every month (and if you have a mail database that's big enough to need
compression, it's big enough to take a very long time to compress, which
is a big pain...).

a separate database for each mailbox/folder. (Don't most email clients
do this now?)
Something which is going to make the 2GB limit intolerable sooner rather
than later is the increasing use of HTML emails, which seem to be at
least five times
