Large mailbox not recognized



I am not longer able to read a mailbox that has become very large.
It's over 2 GB. When I use the change mailbox command and navigate
to /var/mail I can see the other, smaller mailboxes, but this large
one is not visible.

Is there some kind of limit with regards to maximum file size in
Mutt?

Is storing the messages in Maildir a better solution when you have
so much mail?

The system is Debian unstable with Linux 2.6 kernel and the EXT3
filesystem.

Thanks,
Bob
