Compact the folders. Vacuum the sqlites. Also could move old mail to its own folders.

I have mail back to the mid-nineties and it works fine, besides a few UI glitches from the new version. (There are buttons that can't be removed.)

I do that from time to time. The issue is that the performance got worse with the new UI and that cannot be due to compacting. Will try to do it again though to see how much it helps.

My laptop is 5+ years old, and while TB is not the snappiest GUI app on the machine, performance is decent/acceptable. I welcome any optimization however.

The vacuuming is important on an older install I suspect.
