mu4e is good maybe for small usage, it does not scale up[1]. With
47783 maildir folders it cannot cope. It is unusable. 

A concept to read maildirs from a database is not good one. Database
index is for searching. Maildirs shall be read directly based upon the
specification.

Package `maildir' is much faster to read maildirs.

A search with `mu' can symlink found emails into specific folder and
`maildir' package can quickly read such folder. That is about the `mu'
search.

Nothing beats `mutt'[2] for reading emails.
