Product Description:

VacuumMail is an AppleScript application that performs an SQLite "vacuum" job on Apple Mail's database, thereby optimizing it and boosting the performance of Mail as it fetches and stores your email. VacuumMail is designed to be incorporated into an automated maintenance routine and run at regular intervals, although you can also launch the software interactively if you need to do a manual run.

To enable automated operation, the VacuumMail installer includes a LaunchAgent that utilizes Mac OS X Tiger’s new launchd service. By default, the agent will run VacuumMail once a week, and the package includes the terrific open-source Launchd editor Lingon in case you’d like to customize that behavior.

What's new in this version:

This update fixes a bug in the 0.9.5 installer that inadvertently changes permissions to your /Users/Shared folder. This can cause conflicts with some applications such as iTunes that expect the /Users/Shared folder to be universally writeable. The 0.9.6 update ensures that /Users/Shared is set to the proper permissions after you run the VacuumMail installer. If you've already installed VacuumMail 0.9.5, you can probably fix the permissions problem by using DiskUtility to check and fix permissions on your system.

Less fussy than SpeedMail. If you don't need the handholding you can even open the package contents, retrieve the applescript, modify it, and use it on its own.
