Shantanu,

That sounds normal. It all depends on how many mails he receives each day.

I run TB! with about 125,000 emails and my solutions is to not purge & Compress
each box on exit. In fact I don't do this at all except for my inbox because all
email goes though the inbox.

Instead I P&C once a day using a scheduled event.

This way closing TB! is instantaneously.
