If know you are delivering to Maildir, and you know the folder you are
delivering to, then surely you have a temporary directory in the "tmp"
out of Maildir's {new,cur,tmp} ? And also the potential benefit of being
able to rename the resulting file into the "new" directory.

I would like to have the temporary directory be configurable (but with a
sane default like /tmp or perhaps /tmp/dovecot).
In an installation where Dovecot is being used heavily, people might
want to assign specific resources for Dovecot operation. So someone
might decide that Dovecot should have a specific device (hard disk /
solid state disk / whatever) for its temporary files, other than the
default /tmp.
