I detected the problem with complaints from users trying to empty their
mail boxes. The webmail tried to move the deleted messages to Trash.
I desirable behaviour would be:
1. Add a negative byte and message count to maildirsize whenever a mail
is moved into Trash.
2. While moving a message do not touch maildirsize at all at least that
one of the folders involved (origin / destination) were Trash.
[1] may be nicely combinated with a hard quota limit imposed in
dovecot.conf to Trash folder.
[2] is necessary regardless the patch Timo provided so a user can move
messages among its folders while being overquota.
