OK, thanks for the details. It seems that I misinterpreted what
Noel said ("The postfix limit is for mailBOX, not mailDIR.").
So, this limit is also taken into account for maildir, with the
following concern: if one wants to increase message_size_limit,
one still needs to increase virtual_mailbox_limit, even if one
uses maildir only.
