I use courier-imap and exim.  Maildir has no problems with 10s of  
thousands of mail messages in an account.  I don't have a ton of  
accounts on the system, maybe 100, but Maildir is not the limitation.

And this is on FreeBSD with ufs2 as well as some nfs mounted stuff  
from a Solaris ZFS server (some accounts are on local ufs2 and some  
are nfs mounted)
