support which uses kqueue to monitor the dirs (using one FD per email), and direct people towards using a separate IMAP daemon as a workaround. (original proposal was about bumping kern.maxfiles etc, but that seems to be going a bit far with the gigantisch mailboxes that some people have). issue pointed out by, and diff seems sane to, Johannes Thyssen Tishman (maintainer).

aerc's Maildir support on BSD uses kqueue(2), which is really intended for
watching individual files rather than large directories or trees. It requires
a file handle to be opened for each file in the monitored directories, which
will soon exceed default limits in the system.
It is therefore recommended to run an IMAP daemon (for example Dovecot,
courier-imap, imap-uw) and connect over IMAP, even if this is just to the
local machine.
