Uh? Where did you face a problem there? With maildir, you shouldn't face any problems IMO. Even users with zillions of mails should work properly with the dir_index stuff: tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/hdXX or alternatively (to start that for already existing directories): e2fsck -fD /dev/hdXX Of course, you'll always face a problem with lots of files in one directory at getdents() time (eg. opendir()/readdir()/closedir()), but this is a common limit for all filesystems.
