Description
CiviMail Processor puts the processed emails in a 'backup' Maildir folder. This may cause problems when used to process large amounts of emails: http://forum.civicrm.org/?topic=7908
One solution is to move the processed emails to a $year/$month/$day subfolder structure.
The relevant cronjob should also check for old (older than two months?) emails there and delete them first, before polling the source(s).
