Dovecot really shouldn't be dropping the connection. What do the logs  
say about it? Either it crashed (which should be in logs) or the  
client disconnected itself (and you should have a "Logged out" message  
in logs). http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging

Give extra quota for Trash mailbox so copying there is still allowed  
while otherwise over quota. See quota rules in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/1.1
