Hello dovecot
Problem : maildirsize and dovecot quota get have different values
dovecot version : 2.2.13 happens with : some mailboxes
This issue happens only to some mailboxes and only for a specific period of time until maildirsize gets updated by something (not me). I can't reproduce this now because it happened this morning and now its 2 PM and the problem is gone (maildirsize was updated).
Anybody experienced the same situation ?

how do you measure the difference?
dovecot quota takes only into consideration either the physical or virtual size of the files.

header of maildirsize and output of doveadm quota get -u user@domain.tld
Here's another occurence that happened a couple weeks ago on 25-01-2017 (retrieved from a mail I sent to the user and to teammates):
in some unit in % of quota in Mbmaildirsize value : 785744731 73% 749.34
doveadm quota get value : 597777 57% 583.76

Who delievers incoming mail, dovecot LDA or something else?
This is what caused a similar problem for me: https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-April/104091.html

Now this is interesting : du, doveadm quota get and maildirsize have three different values for this particular user :
Max Quota is : 1G
du : 883M (86%) maildirsize : 1048M (102%) doveadm : 34402? (32%)

Just a follow-up with another interesting situation : here's a maildirsize file that records 0 bytes out of 0 messages, yet it has many lines (which are supposed to be mail file sizes, 1 for received mail and -1 for deleted mail) :
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] /var/vmail/backup.algerian-radio.dz/sec-drh # head maildirsize 5368709120S 0 0 5664 1 3713 1 6431 1 4012 1 5801 1 5277612 1 2667474 1 5520 1 root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] /var/vmail/backup.algerian-radio.dz/sec-drh #
And here's the output of du showing that the maildir is far from empty :
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] /var/vmail/backup.algerian-radio.dz/sec-drh # du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -h 4.0K ./dovecot 4.0K ./tmp 8.0K ./courierimaphieracl 24K ./.Archive 2.9M ./new 471M ./cur 517M ./.Sent 991M . root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] /var/vmail/backup.algerian-radio.dz/sec-drh #
