We just started to implement mailbox limits and everyone started deleting mail. 
The store grew to the point that the drive filled and the store unmounted.
I know what to do to fix, but does anyone know of ANY documents on why this 
happens? Would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, deleted items do count against the limit

Deleted items will increase the size of the store and are not counted against 
the user limits?

Somehow one of my mailbox stores grew 89GB over the weekend. There are only 373 
users with mailbox limits of 100MB which means that theoretically there should 
only be around 37GB max. It doesn't really make any sense and I don't even know 
where to start to find what is causing the bloat and how to fix it. Any ideas?
