Maybe it's because I keep d-u messages is semi-annual history
folders so directories never get above 10,000 files, but what
problems do Maildirs have?
Needing to open many files instead of one?
I'll take that over an errant EOF wiping out a large chunk of a
directory.
Yes I can restore from backup, but
(a) the bug that caused the errant EOF is still there, and
(b) bringing back the back-up emails without introducing duplicates
or overwriting new mails is a hassle.
