Is there any way of enforcing a Maildir per-folder message limit in Dovecot?
No.
We're finding major performance hits once a threshold of files/directory is exceeded. This applies across all common filesystems with the threshold differing depending on the FS. GFS2 pretty much _STOPS_ for 10 minutes when users put 65k+ messages in one folder...
mdbox would probably work nicely. :)
I'm currently running 1.1.20 but looking to update (RHEL5 cluster installation)
With v1.2+ you could also try maildir_very_dirty_syncs=yes
