Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/2183

Impacted versions

1.17.0

OS Type: Debian/Ubuntu
OS Version: 20.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-65-generic x86_64)
Database Type: MySQL
Database version: mysql V15.1 Distrib 10.3.25-MariaDB
Modoboa: 1.17.0
installer used: Yes
Webserver: Nginx

Steps to reproduce

Current behavior

Quota keeps inflating even when emails are deleted

Configured my mail client, everything almost works as expected (can send and receive mails) except for the fact that the quota keeps inflating. Deleting emails doesn't free some space as it was supposed to. Tried also on the webmail platform, deleted the mails in quarantine there, everything stayed the same... quota haven't changed!!!!

Checked the DB, table admin_quota, it doesn't update on emails delete only on new mails received. Is it normal? I'm guessing this is the problem.

Expected behavior

Freeing quota on emails deletion
