What OS/filesystem do you use? I don't see how this is possible. The
mails are first written to tmp/ directory and then they're atomically
rename()d to the new/ or cur/ directory.

I also tested this myself, rapidly sending the same FETCH command 1000
times/sec while delivering 40MB mails to the maildir. The size was
always correct.
