Ok, but it ('Looks like you're trying to tell the quota in bytes to 
Dovecot')
isn't the problem, yet ;). I'll try to figure out the problem.
Example:

Some user has 1GB quota, and has 512MB used. When an e-mails arrives
maildrop recalculates the quota (513MB). Then, using dovecot, the user
deletes some e-mails and, now, 'maildirsize' is overwritten, but in a 
different
pattern, so there's an inconsistency with the new 'maildirsize'. It 
isn't 511MB
or less, it starts from beginning (1MB). A 'new' 'maildirsize' file.
That's the problem. Does somebody known how to fix it ?

Thanks.
