Filehandles are only used on open files, so no, you don't have to
worry about them with Maildirs. Inodes, on the other hand, are used by
all files on disk. If you run out of inodes, you can't create more
files--even if the disk has lots of free space. THe only was you can
add inodes is by backing up the filesystem, re-newfs/mkfs'ing it with
more space for inodes, and restoring from the backup.
