This is because a lot of entries??? maildir format puts each message into a separate, uniquely-named, file. That way there are no locking issues during or between delivery and retrieval. This means the delivery agent doesn't need to get a lock on a mailbox before writing to it, saving it time and io. I've used postfix quite succesfully to deliver to maildir-style "mailboxes" for a few years now without any problems, albeit not for 65K mailboxes. YMMV.
