I know this is not what you asked for, but I'm sure mutt would do
you much better service.

All mouse-driven mail clients I know have this baggage, you'll have
to take it.

Just about any. BTW, if your mailboxes are going to grow a bit, you
might prefer the Maildir format. There were some messages in
mutt-users@ stating that Maildirs (theyr handling in mutt, anyway)
are very fast on FreeBSD, especially if you have UFS_DIRHASH
enabled.
That said, I still have all my mail in mboxes, opening the 62MB of
freebsd-questions takes less than two seconds on my machine (in
mutt, of course :)

And the bundled mail client is buggy.

But will enable you to get the work done with much more comfort, in
half the time.
