Too bad, but that's what I ended up doing. I zipped up everything on 
the partition to a USB stick and initialized the corrupted volume.
Unfortunately some mails were not zipped up; I had 20 mails I kept with 
the status "New" to deal with later, now there's only one... Oh well. 
Important things tend to come up again... :)

Now mail_damon doesn't take much CPU and time before fetching my mail 
(it too was hampered by the former corruption), but still the 
downloading of the mails remains abyssmal: a normal 10k mail takes 
about 7s!
Other network traffic, like downloading thru wget, seems to be normal.
Is it just me?

Humdinger
