I've experienced this with several versions of courier and several
versions of vpopmail. Seeing as the way I read the maildir++ "standard"
each time you manipulate a maildir its your job to update the
maildirsize file, then what deletes messages without adding subtraction
lines to maildirsize is at fault. I'd guess that'd be courier.

Anybody better informed correct me if I'm wrong, but maildirsize is
pretty simple. The second line is a base usage number, determined when
the file is written, and each subsequent line is a size and a modifier.
So:
15000S (base quota of 15000 bytes)
0 0 (no mail when we create the maildirsize)
100 1 (1 100byte message file)
-100 -1 (deleted 100byte message file)
