Well, when I add up those figures, I get:

$ perl -ane '$t1+=$F[0]; $t2+=$F[1]; END { print "$t1 $t2\n"; }' <ert
13661820 48

So, maildirsize thinks there are 48 messages in there, totalling around
13MB, which is 65%.

If that's not the case, then I refer you to the answer I gave already today
(attached).

Did you build courier-imap using the --with-trashquota option?

Also, do an 'ls -laR' of the maildir. If there are messages which have
,S=nnnnnn in their filenames, then some maildir-aware applications will use
those sizes in preference to the actual disk usage of the files (because
it's quicker to get at). I presume courier does, but I've not investigated
the code.
