From your previous mail:

Dovecot calculated the size as 558MB, not 1MB?

If you're wondering about the extra spaces written by maildrop, they
should have no meaning.

If Dovecot calculated the maildir size differently than maildrop, I can
think of 3 reasons:

1. Trash mailbox. Do you use ignore=Trash?
2. You're using an older Dovecot version which has bugs in its Maildir++
code.
3. You're using multiple namespaces and the quota plugin got confused by
those.
