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.
