Sometimes, when a user logs in, the webmail displays a space usage of, say, 90%, which is the real disk usage of the user. If the user deletes any mail (no matter the size), his quota usage drops violently to, say, 22%. This leads the user to the false security of having enough space on disc as to keep receiving mail, when he's really close to fill up his disc quota. I'm currently giving 500 MB to each user, so it's clearly not a problem of the quota being too little.
The quota reported by Courier-IMAP is not disk quota, but rather the calculated "soft" quota that's manually tracked by Courier-IMAP, which may not be anywhere the actual disk usage quota, for a variety of reasons, such as the contents of the Trash folder.
If you want to use Courier-IMAP's "soft" quotas, you cannot also use a hard, kernel-based disk quota. For that matter, you should not be using filesystem quotas with Courier-IMAP at all, for various reasons, and use Courier-IMAP's soft quotas exclusively.
