I'm not sure how dovecot works internally, but I know UW-IMAP makes
temporary copies of the whole mailbox when the user is deleting
stuff...  If dovecot does that also (seems likely) then you'll
probably need to make the hard limit at least 2 x soft limit, to make
sure a full copy of the mailbox can be made.
