Binary package hint: evolution

ubuntu 7.10
evolution 2.12.1

1. the file inbox located in /home/sari/.evolution/mail/local is 2 gb big. searching the web tells me that this is the maximum possible - why?
2. evolution had problems to display the messages located in the inbox (not the subfolders). it gave errormessages, that the inbox is too big (sorry didnt screenshot them).
3. now evolution does not display a single message in inbox anymore - just the messages in the subfolders.
4. ever since that, evolution was not able to receive new messages from the server - clear.
5. renamed inbox (mailbox file) to inbox1
6. now evolution is able to receive the messages from the server.
7. please HELP how the can i few my 2 gb mails? it would be great to have a proper archive function!
