what I have set up might be a little different from you have, but take a look
at this:

this is a listing of a sample Maildir directory on my server. it has all these
files and directories that have to do with courier IMAP.
while they don't take much in some cases, sometimes they can take a couple of
percent from the overall quota.
in addition there are two directories (IMAP folders) .Junk (where all spam is
forwarded) and .Trash (courier IMAP/squirrelmail default trash
+folder). when you use squirrelmail to delete an email, it gets forwarded to
.Trash, and maildirsize file is changed to not count this email
+against quota. in addition, spam can quickly fill .Junk and the user will not
be able to receive good email messages. so, the policy in my
+place is to count only good email that sits anywhere but .Junk and .Trash.
Also, to prevent users from having gigantic number of messages in
+these two directories - there is a script that deletes anything that's older
than 7 days in these two directories.
