In Courier-Imap via webmail when delete a email, this was in the INBOX, but it showed as shading and in the server appends the flag T, but was not automatically moved to the Trash.
When calculating the quota through maildirsize did not consider the emails with flag T.
Dovecot is working perfectly, the problem is that as Courier had this feature,
That is a PROBLEM - or maybe even a BUG - not a feature...
users will not purge mails
THERE is your problem...
and when migrating to Dovecot, these emails deleted if considered to calculate the quota for which there are many accounts after the migration have reached 100% usage.
Let me ask you a question... what good is your quota, if the users can get around it so easily?
Its time to teach your users proper email practices. Deleting messages, but leaving them on the filesystem forever (by not expunging them) and expecting them to NOT get calculated in the Quota, only teaches them a way to get around your quota limits.
Do the right thing... teach them that they will have to actually expunge deleted messages within a reasonable time frame or they will go over quota.
