Did you already tried: doveadm quota recalc -u user?

Did you started "du" right in Maildir? Use:

cd .../Maildir
du -cs cur new .*/{cur,new}

in order to count message files only.

You do not seem to have activated the hardlink feature. If you did,
you need to count each link, too.

untested size in KB:
find cur new .*/{cur,new} -type f -printf '%k\n' | \
 awk ' END { print n } { n=n+$1 } '
