Right... although my understanding is that dovecot does indeed use mv 
(at least on linux) to do moves when using maildir, so maybe there is a 
way...

I'll wait and see what Timo says about this... no hurry, as I'm still in 
the design stage, this is just how I'd *like* it to work, but if it 
won't/can't, I'll figure something else out.

Thanks for the replies so far...
