I have 1000+ mailboxes linked to projects.  Every project gets a number
and every 'subject' in the project gets its own subfolder.  Take that
down 20+ years and you get 1000+ folders ;)

With notmuch my idea is to bundle the subfolders in the mainfolder so
that would roughly divide the mailboxes by at least 5.  With notmuch the
subfolders are definitely to be tags.  I want to keep the folder for
every project to at least have some kind of fallback in case the notmuch
database gets corrupt..  That is my most important fear with notmuch ;)

I was thinking if notmuch offers some kind of 'dump' for the database,
so it can eventually be restored ?

quite a lot, in fact !
