It's not hyperbole. There have been IMAP servers that exposed tens of thousands of Usenet newsgroups as shared IMAP mailboxes. I think it's unlikely (though possible) that any personal namespaces have tens of thousands of private mailboxes, but it's easily possible for a "subtree" search to hit that many in a situation such as this.
