When moving a few thousand mails via Thunderbird, the quota limit

Where can I look for them??

Was not caused by iRedmail !

Sad enought - they are gone. Looks as if Thunderbird when reaching quota
limit (was not aware that large moves at least temporary rise quota)
ignored IMAP erors and still deleted source emails (as if move was ok).

So I cannot blame iRedmail (and it's components) for that. All worked as
it should.

The problem was me (not rising quota before doing this) and possibly
Thunderbird :-(
