Just to be really clear what this is.  It's per mailbox name - if you create and delete
the SAME mailbox more 20 times, it only keeps the most recent 20 of that mailbox.

If you accidentally delete 100 mailboxes, they'll all still be there.

And it doesn't stop you deleting mailboxes or anything - it just immediately cleans
up the 21st one when you delete the mailbox again.
