Yes, it works only when you use the -p parameter.

Because there is no -p parameter. You'd need to write a script to do
this. I know some people have done that, but no one's made their script
publicly available.

A far easier solution would be to use Dovecot v2.0 and deliver mails via
LMTP. Then the hard linking happens automatically.
