OMFG. That's rather frightening.

Woohoo. I'm used to seeing that - my postmaster mailbox for work 
(ignored for the last few days because I haven't been able to face it) 
just topped 1000 messages :-(

Is there any way to export the 'held for approval' mailbox as, say, an 
IMAP mailbox so it can be managed a bit more easily?

Hmm...

I'd like to think I'm answering questions at least as often as asking 
them, personally. As for free time ... I do seem to find a fair bit in 
short snippets between "my email isn't working" (read: nobody's emailed 
me today) questions. Much of which I should be using for other things, 
like work and stuff for CA.
