Thanks for the info. It shows me that it is in fact updating (appending)
the file. It must be Dovecot POP3 that isn't appending delete entries to
"free up" the space. I'm looking in that direction now.

You can debug this problem by sendind a mail from exim command line like
this:
exim -d+all mail_with_maildirsize
I got this concerning maildirsize in my server:
14:53:51 13552 computing maildir size from maildirsize data
14:53:51 13552 returning maildir size=807722006 filecount=47314
14:53:51 13552 delivering in maildir format in /var/mail/juan
14:53:51 13552 writing to file tmp/1457027631.H402523P13552.server.ar
14:53:51 13552 Exim quota = 1073741824 old size = 807722006 this message
