Can you define 'rather large'?

I have several hundred thousand messages in my mail archive dating back
about 10 years ago, and TB handles the archive without any problem, i.e.
there isn't really a need to archive outside TB (as long as you keep
your Inbox clean and compacted, of course).

There is an Add-on/Extension that does export archives and imports of
the Mbox format mail files. Check out this site:
