Is it true that if a user reaches quota limit he isn't be able to delete his messages to free his mailbox space?

No. But if you plan to use quotas, you should store your indexes in a filesystem without quotas.
You can see how to do it in

Hello...
You should probably have a look at this: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Maildir?highlight=%28ignore%29%7C%28trash%29
A "delete" operation in many clients means that the mail is copied to Trash mailbox and then expunged from the original mailbox. This means that the delete operation will fail if user is already over quota. If you wish to make this work, you can use ignore setting, which doesn't count the quota at all for the given mailbox:

But look out for the idiot user who figures this out and start using the Trash for storage. Already had that happen to me.
Using the expire plugin on the Trash will avoid this problem.

So I should turn the quota check off for the given mailbox? Sorry if I don't understand.

Others already replied to this. You havn't said which type of quota, if you use filesystem quotas, you can easily reach this point, if people use the trashbox stuff. This can be avoided, if you also turn on
maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes
However, this may has other problems.
