Is there a way to limit the amount of maildir folders a user can have?
No.
Also is there is hard limit on the amount of folders dovecot can handle? I have a user who has over 3000 folder (including subfolders) that is having issues with delays in loading, moving, and deleting messages.
I guess you're using Maildir++, so all of the folders are in the one Maildir root directory? That's probably the main reason why it's slow. With v1.1+ you could switch to fs layout, so that the subfolders would no longer be in the root directory.
Then, from a performance perspective, should fs layout be the recommended configuration for Maildir++ ?
M.A.
