Trash plugin unexpected results

Trash plugin won't delete messages from your folders if the deletion
would not give enough space to start with, and in your case removing the
attachment would have still left the user over quota, so trash plugin
did not take action.

Oct 07 17:33:13 lmtp(31543, 123 at testdo.com): Debug: trash plugin: Failed
to remove enough messages (needed 17035766 bytes, expunged only 16803594
bytes)
