the nupas core should be ok with 16k messages

	minooka; mail -f bigmbox
	45465 messages, 44899 unread
	: q

on the other hand, i can easily believe the imap mailbox type
can't handle this.  i haven't used imap mailboxes much, and
when i did, they were very small.  if you have specific ideas,
and or observed problems, i'd be glad to incorporate them.
