Most likely these message are still in the MTA's queue, waiting to be
delivered - unless the situation is persisting for more then several days
and MTA timed out, sending a non-delivery notification to the sender.
In any case, mail was not lost - it either was or will be delivered,
or the sender received a non-delivery notification.

It is likely there were much fewer the 10000 messages stumbling
across a problem, but on each retry a new directory was left over.
You should really investigate and fix the cause, not just sweep
the trash under a carpet.

> My second question is why so much old directories haven't been deleted ?

Yes, these directories should be deleted (preferably when amavisd is not 
running to avoid removing currently active working directories) - but you 
will want to investigate the cause for failure, in which case the logs and 
the files retained can help in troubleshooting.
