[Dovecot] "failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space." with large mail

Hello,

I am having this error message on some rare emails with more than 6 mb 
or so. Neither the dovecot server nor the filesystem where the maildir 
resides have any quota or are full at the time of delivering.

The mails goes getmail->postfix->dovecot delivery agent

Is the mail written to any other place than the maildir folder? Even 
though all my temp folders should also be able to hold some megabytes...

Thanks for any help,
Johannes
