There is no "move" feature in IMAP or Dovecot, only copy+delete. For
example ACL plugin can deny saves and copies to a mailbox.
Anyway, override mailbox.copy() and return -1 if you don't like the
source or destination mailbox. You can hook into that from
hook_mailbox_allocated, similar to many plugins override e.g.
mailbox.transaction_begin().

Override mailbox.create() and return -1 if you don't want it created.
Hook the same way as copy().
