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

 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).
