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.
I think I've mis-explained the issue. I'm actually using soft quotas,
enforced by Postfix with its VDA patch, not filesystem quotas. What I
ment when I mentioned the percentages are merely cyphers which I've
calculated by hand, to check against the web-supplied quota values.
Sorry for the confusion. I'll check the trash folder usage for those
users. However, I can't understand the sudden drop and posterior rise
of the soft-quota usage. If you could clarify this issue, I'll be very
thankful.

Hi!
Counting of quota depends if you compile package with or without trash
quota.
If you compile without trash quota, you should remove all emails
automatically every some time.
