[Dovecot] save failed to INBOX: Not enough disk space

[Osvaldo Alvarez Pozo]

Hi

Doing mail debug I found this

dovecot: lmtp(12696, user1 at domain.tld): Error:
o_stream_send_istream(/var/vmail/domain.tld/user1/Maildir/tmp/1307537596.M117043P12696.smtp1)
failed: No space left on device

dovecot: lmtp(12696, user1 at domain.tld): Error:
o_stream_flush(/var/vmail/domain.tld/user1/Maildir/tmp/1307537596.M117043P12696.smtp1)
failed: No space left on device


So dovecot write in to a tmp folder inside the user Maildir before
definitly copying it to new folder.

But why it says thereis no space left?
