Difficult to say :-)
But definitely *NOT* a 32 bit file count overflow, since the limit for 32 bit unsigned counters is in the region of
4.3G and signed ones 2.1G, so well above 695000.
I would definitely do things from CLI, but if you prefer graphical tools, you may consider installing Filelight (if
not already done) and use it to try to locate the "big" folder with all your emails. Or use Konqueror -> View -> View
mode -> RadialMap view (not 100% but probably it requires Filelight to be installed anyway).

Cheers
