From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Edge cases are not the norm, though.
I'm not so sure that it is an edge case. I'm just an average person. I'm sure there are many people who have reason to receive and/or save much larger volumes of email than I do. Regardless, it's always better to have software that works well under a wide range of circumstances.
On my company mail account I have collected circa 10000 mails during the past 10 years, which is circa 80 mails a month - and that is a lot.
If you're not following multiple high-volume mailing lists since a decade and archive every single e-mail I don't think its normal to have 50000 mails in a mailbox.
