There are no update/move commands in IMAP, so you'll just need to hook
into saving and copying. Normally copying also goes through save unless
you're using maildir + maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes.

See quota plugin for example how to hook into saving and copying:
http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/quota.tar.gz

Probably better to do it as a plugin than directly modify the sources,
so you don't have to keep patching it for each new release.
