> In "Summary" menu, I can click on "All" - key for this is "h", a summary of only 255 messages in a top half-window, numbered 1-255. Clicking on any of these message headers opens corresponding mail in bottom half-window. I tried searching (Summary -> By Regexp) , it searches only within those 255 messages, but I know lots of other thousands of messages match my search. From my educated guess, these are 255 latest messages in the MBOX file. 255 being a nice round number, I suspect this is deliberate.

I use Rmail all the time, and I assure you there's no 255-message
limitation in Rmail.  Some other factor is at work here.  I suggest to
try another build of Emacs.
