Dear Timo,
Would there be any sense in giving Dovecot the option to split folders into multiple subfolders when they reached a specified size (probably message count) limit?
Many modern file systems offer the possibility to use optimized directory indexes. Listing these directories scales very well. Splitting files into subdirectories would have a negative effect: You have to walk through every directory and merge all file names into one data table.
