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.
