Different IMAP servers will implement quotas and message deletions
differently,
as they implement how they store mailboxes differently and how they
implement
quotas. If you are using University of Washington IMAP on Unix using
Unix
quotas, for example, you will always need to have extra quota to allow
the
mailbox to be copied to a temporary file when deleting messages. If you
are using Cyrus IMAP, which implements its own quotas and a file per
message, you
won't need to have spare quota to delete messages. So if people running
out of quota is a problem for you, you should use an IMAP server that
will allow message deletions in that situation. It sounds like you have
an inappropriate IMAP server for your user requirements.

Do you mean that if mail server denies moving anything to different
directory if user's quota is reached, SO mail server doesnt work
correctly? Mail server should allow moving stuff from one dir to
another if quota is reached?

It won't matter. Several people have already told you that the
ability of a
mail client
to delete messages on the server when you have run out of quota has
NOTHING
to do with
the client. It is how the server handles deletion of messages. You
need to
fix your
SERVER not the client. The client doesn't delete messages. The
server does.
If the
server can't delete a message when a user is over quota it won't
make a
blind
bit of difference having a button on your client that says 'Delete
immediately'.

For ability to delete messages. If mail server's quota is on and
client program doesnt provide marking messages as deleted or not
using
vtrash.

For what purpose?

Anyway I would be glad (I think not only me) if in the next horde
release, feature "Delete emails permanently" will be included.
F.e. if
user is not using Virtual trash and function "Marking messages as
deleted" is disabled, then button Delete emails permanently is
shown.
It's just a suggestion.

Well, those are your 3 options. Good luck!
Well there probably is another one: stop using quotas.
