+I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch. I'm\r
+currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of\r
+Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total).\r
+\r
+notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at\r
+searching bombed out. Running, for example:\r
+\r
+ notmuch search storage\r
+\r
+Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of:\r
+\r
+ Error opening\r
+ /home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=\r
+=3D3026:2,S:\r
+ Too many open files\r
+\r
+I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work\r
+with Maildir) or if something else is going on.\r
+\r
+Cheers,\r
