[Dovecot] Large mbox files.

[Chris H.]

Greetings,
Given the error message, I can't help but wonder if there are
any /quotas/ imposed on your account/ the system. Also, are there
any restrictions on the UID/GID that dovecot is running as?
It might also be worth knowing if the user/ group dovecot is running
as has /any/ R/W rights to the system/ location it's running on/ at.

Just thought these might be worth looking at; given the error dovecot
emits.
