[Dovecot] dsync with quotas

I have been working on converting people from courier maildir -> dovecot
mdbox and during some of the dsync runs I'm seeing the
quota_exceeded_message be printed as an Error:

dsync(<user>): Error: Can't save message to mailbox INBOX: You are over quota. To avoid losing mail, immediately empty your Trash and Sent folders and \
delete emails with large attachments. 
dsync(<user>): Info: INBOX: Couldn't keep all uids^M

Its possible the user was over quota on the originating courier side,
but I would still like to migrate their mail proprely to mdbox, but it
seems like being over quota is inhibiting that. Are the quota
calculations including both the maildir files as well as the converted
mdbox files, resulting in a double counting? 

I'm not entirely sure if the messages above indicate that the migration
failed for that user or not, so I've been manually increasing their
quota, then redoing the dsync mirror until it works properly.

I wonder if it would be better if I turned off quota entirely during
migration so I don't run into this problem?

thanks,
micah
