I agree that this use case will be more and more common with time.

Most of this conversation is over my head, but if there is no simple
solution for distinguishing devices on the same inbound IP, maybe the
'best' solution would be to set up different named hosts to connect to
(mobilemail.example.com vs imap/mail.example.com) and have each pointed
to a different dovecot instance that is optimized accordingly?
