Sendmail problems with large mailboxes



I have encountered a huge drawback of Sendmail (or the default imap daemon
of RedHat). I use imap to access the e-mail box of mails that are handled by
Sendmail. Since the mailbox is plain text file and not some kind of database
it takes a long time to delete or edit messages. For example, for 200MB
e-mailbox it  takes 5 minutes to delete a simple message !

How is it possible to solve this problem? Will a better imapd implementation
will fix the problem? Or is it the end of Sendmail...

Thank you,

Oved Blass
