Emacs can handle Maildir via nnmaildir, Gnus's Maildir backend; albeit with some quirks, such as slower startup times for Gnus for large number of messages. Alternatively, one can use nnimap, Gnus's IMAP backend, and point it to a local dovecot instance in front of a local maildir. Advantages of doing so include the efficiency of dovecot in handling large amounts of mail, and trivially easy email synchronization with other machines through IMAP, using isync's mbsync. Have you tried using Gnus's nnimap? I don't have nearly as many maildir folders, but I do have multiple hundred folders, and a total of several hundred thousand messages, and my dovecot+nnimap setup has been handling it very well thus far. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJEBAEBCgAuFiEEObM8jZRIDS3cwqSYi0Sgzce5VvIFAl+xSB8QHGJhbmRhbGlA Z251Lm9yZwAKCRCLRKDNx7lW8nz0D/wPRDpo1e38M1ugdLnmRMulHJcwjKM5zB3m WE68SipWjTVG6jHjmUFoqOFYj4v0D252Yz5kuzaPZQHj7/hxc7C0jDOPppoA5SO9 tZtnxQWGq1SAxuFSaq/6iQPw1ypYakhobg82UKGKmRt5oY+2ruNF/VJh1XdiccYe LlQDwl3HuY7EeAtLY+Ht27TOcdSe+GBOBMLSGeTdZbglisGDOJsd7qasDhpvcltL uYs+npWELQx6eJZYiPxYOzkpPTwGCgtCWjbrIdZFw5v9j0RGXkWZJ/XbFhyrSsph x99fUCtQ+U/JRya0Quvsfpe1YURc8F1UnDKJJZrK/4DkT9dLM4u5KTjbtra7Ifo1 f2aC/Juj3dZpPToBExLYEP/1JPIn5t6SFDTes1bOp4Rx5cLjlCFqJ47JykILNGUH BOl+CNaSEjm7IDMFRTeF+Fo/TLEyDffEEVuyRh/f8MVsxSLIymiDKUbvr66Ryhzf h17Gkc3RjkwD2oajHZ4qH5cTEl1RQb8+WjH/uQ8gShc3lfxLwDkqqT1Pa1WvSogt xcBtTH3mIt/PMQnfcx+fbKZI9gqqcarDMv+W8SLsCYBFn+hhHGKk6hlhrZ6fHsvc Vaz2SdUSZwKamInqI8CKiCTwDdd1NWLXnnJKGdetR8EOJM0d9EDyLZOnbOm//4id USzzqjQzPg== =qnts -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
