Oh right. It shouldn't be difficult to add a display like that to
Maildir though? I mean, you can find out how many files there are in

different sizes since only the mail headers get read, anyway.

Indeed, Maildir is not a mail archive format, it wasn't designed as
such. Doesn't mean that I can't use it like that, though. :-)
