If the emails still exist on the server it will be fine. If they don't you will lose them.
As for the limits they aren't automatically applied. They are used when updating a folder. So once you change the limit you should refresh the folder manually to actually get the space back. Ideally we probably should provide an enhancement to make it easier to work out where space is being used. I mentioned this on the ticket cketti linked to with a summary of what we discussed. It probably wants it's own issue though I'm not sure how hard it is - it may be quite easy if we store the message sizes in a sensible way.
