8 Gigs of emails? Dear Lord. 
Maybe you could create another email account and have your current email forward any new messages to the new one.

What puzzles me though that I remember that the mail used to be faster (never fast, but not painfully slow).

I once had 8,000 emails and decided to delete them all.
It took Modest a few hours to do this, but afterwards, it was quite liberating.

Have you tried changing the message size limit?

Ok, just checked, I use 1.5GB only, but still in modest you're getting only latest 250 messages, so 8GB is not the issue here (check the menu once you click Inbox at the top: Show more (250/xxx) is an option, so you could have 8TB, unless attachments are all loaded). Try with different account? If issue persists something you installed is at fault, if other email works fine make a local copy of the attachment ones and remove them from serv.

BTW: I am using modest from the CSSU Stable, but I guess I am no alone.

You should be able to delete the respective directory within ~/.modest/cache/mail/imap/ and restart modest to clear the cache. I'm pretty sure the offline IMAP patches are in CSSU, so I wouldn't install the packages from mat.exon.name

There's more info about this in the offline IMAP thread:

I personally think this patch needed a lot more work done on it before being included into the CSSU...

Copernicus: hm, that is worrying but it still does not explain why it is so slow.
Anyway, I treid forwarding my mail to a new address and modest is reasonaly fast with a account with 40 mails or so. It has the disadvantage that all mails are unread - even those I read on my computer, which is almost all of them.
I am using the online interface of gmail, opera handles it just fine (and it is much faster), but it would still be nice to have offilne messages and working fat client on N900. Anyway, I do not suppose anyone is working on this so I will stick with the web interface for the time being.

I am using modest with Gmail that has over 8GB worth of e-mail. I am not sure if that matters, is there a way to tell modest to track only the last 1000 messages or something?
I am using sync with Google calendar ( http://wiki.maemo.org/Sync#Synchronising_with_Google ) - could this be a problem? AFAIK these are separate programs.
Any other ideas? Can I wipe all mail on N900 and start over? I hope this does not wipe e-mail on Gmail server either?
