I am also using XFS and while it isn't zippy moving thousands of messages, it will work. I think I've been up to 9000+ messages but I don't know if I've ever passed 10,000. Even with XFS manipulating such large directories can be tedious. Lots of file hanlding tools just throw up their hands and admit defeat.
Sam, do you have any suggestions on what configurations can be used to better handle maildir's for packrats like me and apparently Jon?
Suggestion: if you absolutely must use huge folders, make sure that they rarely, if ever, get updated. Large folders aren't really a problem until you need to move stuff into them.
If you're working with mail, try to keep your folder working set to contain the bare minimum number of messages that you need. If you've got a bunch of mail that you know you won't need to look at, for a while, move them to a different folder.
