Nevertheless, since this is a very low volume server and the user in question only sends and receives a few dozen mails, weighing a hand full of MB, per day, I'm at a loss to understand how it's possible that in the user's mailstore 80G of deleted but not purged mail can pile up in just about a week(!). This has happend a couple of times during the last month. And after it happened the last time (8 days ago), I had manually purged the user's mailstore reducing ist's size back to the ~10G that are reasonable. Since then it has grown to the 90G I mentioned above.
So, if you have any idea what to check or what measures to take to help me find out what's happening there, that woud be great! I'll start to log the mailstore size regularly to be able follow the growth over time but maybe there's something I could tell Dovecot to do...
Using mail_log plugin is always very recommended,

OK, I'll turn that on. Thanks again for your help!
