I have a couple hundred thousand emails in FastMail and both their web client and Apple’s Mail app seem to scale to this absolutely no problem.
100k emails is way way less data than you think it is. Will likely fit in your laptop’s RAM!
- jethro_tell 4y agoit does but most mail clients don't really let you process more than a few hundred messages at a time.
- na85 4y ago100k emails is probably less than 10 GB, depending on attachments.
- petre 4y agoIt depends. 28.8k emails from google takeout = 4.2Gb.
