You need to upgrade to either cyrus-imapd 1.6.24, 1.6.25-BETA, or 2.x. As
these version support hashing the directories based on the first letter of
the users name for the quota, user, sieve and the IMAP spool directories.
After you install 1.6.x or 2.x, you will need to use the dohash script to
convert your existing files to the hashed directory format. If you want
your IMAP spool directory hashed as well you need to set hashimapspool to
true in imapd.conf.
