you were both right - I deleted files and voila emails were working again, and
mysteriously the ureadahead entry disappeared when I ran -df as well.
now done to a much healthier 18% of disk usage
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda 10321208 1697448 8099472 18% /

You may find that other things like mailboxes, logs and databases files
have all been unexpectedly truncated. Free up some space, check
everything carefully and be prepared to restore things from backups
where daemons have gotten into a fix before writing out their in memory
data.
And maybe also consider asking for a disk space nagios alert (will
require either allowing check by ssh, running nrpe or snmpd).
Cheers,
