The problem is that there is no 'move' command in IMAP. This is
accomplished with a 'copy'/'delete' methodology. Because the user is
already at (or above) their quota, the 'copy' part of this will fail.
Assuming the client doesn't use a 'Trash' folder concept (which will
have the same problem as described above), messages should be able to be
'deleted' (flagged as deleted) and 'expunged' (actually deleted).

The Cyrus server will ALERT the client when the mailbox is above a
certain threshold ('quotawarn' in imapd.conf) and over quota. If the
client doesn't present these ALERTs to the user, then the client is
broken.
