Like devin suggested, change your mail store format to maildir and get a 
whole host of benefits over mbox. All filesystems in Centos 5 have 
indexed/hashed directories so you should not have problems with 
thousands of email in each mailbox.

As for your lda, choose whatever you can support. I don't know whether 
you have to generate filter recipes or not but take those into account 
if you do. I personally am using postfix and dovecot lda with sieve support.
