I think that's best left an empty parent folder, since having
the most recent X messages means the client will have to
refetch/resync that entire 50K again when a new
numerically-suffixed mailbox is needed to hold older messages.

Now, I'm thinking more along the lines of:
inbox.comp.version-control.git.7 => 350,001..400K
inbox.comp.version-control.git.6 => 300,001..350K
inbox.comp.version-control.git.5 => 250,001..300K
inbox.comp.version-control.git.4 => 200,001..250K
inbox.comp.version-control.git.3 => 150,001..200K
inbox.comp.version-control.git.2 => 100,001..150K
inbox.comp.version-control.git.1 => 50,001..100K
inbox.comp.version-control.git.0 => 1..50K
Since bigger numbers are harder-to-read and memorize.
But LKML is currently up to 72...
