I don't know. My reading of the Wikipedia pages was unconclusive.
All I know is: I cannot create new files with "touch x" in this directory,
while I can in other directories on the partition and the mount type
is vfat. I guess a number of filesystems will have limitations for the number 
of files in one directory, so this could become a general thing to watch out 
for with large accounts.

Thanks Volker for the assessment, this saves a lot of time on my end!
I think I either try and test if there is recovery or I may
see if I can renew the cache for some folders somehow.
Maybe by switching off some folders by local subscriptions.
