However, it doesn't seem to work in practice, because I have a user that is at 99% of quota, with nothing in the Trash who cannot move a 77KB message into the Trash without getting the quota_exceeded message and refusing to move it.
dovecot -n output?
namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = no location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . }
Maybe the client is using the INBOX. namespace and trying to copy to INBOX.Trash instead of Trash? You could try adding another quota rule for INBOX.Trash. I should probably also change the quota code to follow "alias_for" directives. Then you could have only a single Trash, if you add "alias_for = " to the INBOX. namespace.
