I use Mulberry for this reason as well.  One thing I have noticed
though is that the unix version is significantly slower than the mac
version.  It could be a matter of processor speed as well though.  But
if I'm going into a large mailbox, the unix version will take about 5
seconds for me to open it.  I think it has more to do with populating
the UI element (list) than anything else.  Just something that I've
noticed.

Another thing, I'm not positive, but I think Kmail does a decent job
with large mailboxes as well.  But none do as well as Mulberry, I've
found.
