The problem is that IMAP reports the bytes used, while du reports the
blocks used. Isn't reporting by blocks a more accurate representation
of the drive's total usage? IMAP is getting size information from the
maildirsize file. The maildirsize file is being created by Exim. Is
there any way to have Exim write the size of the blocks being used,
instead of just the size?
