"Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later 
freed in "purge" step. This is typically done in a nightly cronjob when 
there's less disk I/O activity. "

What happens if there is filesystem hard quota that is exceeded? Will dovecot 
allow to delete mails to free space without a need to wait for cronjob to do 
the purge?
