Now I'm getting the situation, that users exceed there quota but yet not
the hard limit and the user isn't able to delete messages.
e.g. the the soft limit is 100 MB, the hard limit is 110 MB. So there
should be some space to delete unneeded emails.
Others have pointed out the need for double the size of your Inbox if you
use mbox format. The canonical way to deal with it with UW-IMAP is likely
also the same solution for dovecot, but check the dovecot site/wiki/list to
confirm: Use a separate partition for the temporary file, so that the
regular storage quota doesn't apply to it.
