Didn't think of doing that.
On my system, for ~ it is only 73784 files
(I use some extra partitions for development, etc)
For my email it is 3016 files, taking 1,4G space
(There is at least 2 files per folder)
Since most folders are more than 1k emails, and some 10k,
that would be well more than 1M emails alone.
