Yes, but not more so than letting nnfolder+archive:misc-mail get big.

If that works, you can:
1)  Point your smtpmail-smtp-server at your local MTA
2)  Switch your message send parameters for the duration of the bus
    trip
3)  Not be using smtpmail in the first place, that's what .gnus &
    custom are for.

It's distinctly easier to configure a machine to send outgoing mail
through a network connection than it is to properly set up sendmail or
the equivalent.

What are the last two letters of "doesn't" and "can't"?
Coincidence?  I think not.
