The original post mentioned that to move a message into Trash fails, when 
the user is over quota.
This, in the end, prevents an user to get under quota in MailDir++, 
because the messages are expunged from Trash only.

I agree that it is not good to have an unlimited Trash folder, but to move 
a message from one folder into Trash should be always possible. (Actually, 
I think it would be OK to move messages around within the same quota root 
regardless of the quota at all, because the message is already on the 
system and it does not matter in which folder, except for Trash.)
