I use mairix and have never witnessed this.  A quick experiment shows
that it's because I use

  sort=date+

in my .mairixrc.  At a guess, the default unsorted numbering system must
use the emails' positions in mairix's own index, which could obviously
get quite high, given a big archive.

An odd choice.  Try using "sort=date+" if that's acceptable.
