[Dovecot] Message size incorrect?

One thing to keep in mind is that du reports on disk usage not file
sizes. So du will report an answer based on the number of blocks being
used. If you are using 1K blocks for example, messages smaller than 1K
waste disk space. If you have a large number of messages the greater the
discrepancy you might see.
