A soft quota is an official limit, lower than the hard quota, that is not an impassible boundary. Its purpose is to let you modify your data when you’re close to quota. If your soft quota is 185 MB and your hard quota is 200 MB, you have 15 MB worth of room to manoeuver, so you don’t (for instance) lose mail in the meantime.
