If you change the maildir filename you'll change the base filename,
which means the messages will get new IMAP UIDs. You don't really want
that. So there's no way to force Dovecot to do that either. But I don't
really see a need for it either. If Dovecot v1.1 doesn't have the file
size it calculates it and then writes it to dovecot-uidlist, that's just
as good as it being in the filename.
