Hi,

How do you deal with a maildir with a billion file in it? I'm on ext4
which should handle it but I can already feel some programs struggle
with a dir with that many entries (noticeable slow down).

I was thinking of archiving emails in yearly folders. How does notmuch
deal with moving emails around? Will I still be able to open them or
should I recreate the db?

If anyone is using lieer with gmail (https://github.com/gauteh/lieer)
will this trigger pulls of all the moved emails again?

Thanks
