I remember having this problem in the past and I just deleted a bunch of old emails and things went back to normal. At lunch today I had some time so I investigated the problem and set the maximum size to infinity for my mailboxes now. So if there is room on the hard drive, my email will keep coming in.
In the postfix main.cf file simply set this variable:
### No maximum size to a mailbox
mailbox_size_limit = 0
Sorry for the interuption in service. Things should be back in order now.
