As I say - check in the filesystem to see if it's correct.

Perhaps when you 'refresh' it actually does an IMAP 'expunge', at which
point it deletes the source messages from the maildir.

Arguably it's a client problem, but arguably it's poor design of the IMAP
protocol itself, which doesn't have a "move" operation; you can only "copy"
the message into the Trash, and then mark the original as deleted.

I think so, as long as there is no file called 'quotawarn' in the Maildir,
or if there is, it is older than 24 hours.

Maybe. I have used deliverquota, and that requires some command-line options
to enable quota warnings, and to set the percentage. I don't use maildrop. I
remember seeing a while ago that this feature was ported into maildrop, but
I don't know what you'd have to do to enable it.

There's a separate maildrop mailing list you could ask this question on.
