You might, but I don't know what that limit would be...My inbox is
currently looking like:

--snip--
bwalton @ pinkfloyd : ~/Maildir
$ lc
total 3.1M
drwx------ 2 bwalton user 496K Apr 29  2008 cur
-rw------- 1 bwalton user 1.2K Apr 28  2008 dovecot-uidlist
drwx------ 2 bwalton user 2.6M Apr 14 12:04 new
drwx------ 2 bwalton user 4.0K Apr 14 12:04 tmp

bwalton @ pinkfloyd : ~/Maildir
$ ls -lA new/ | wc -l
36413
--snip--

Big (notice the size of the new/ directory), but not huge.  Poll times
increase linearly though, which one drawback to the current approach
of not moving mail into cur/ when it's detected.

Thanks
