Hmm, but if Dovecot handles the Maildir in my case, then why can't
Dovecot do mail filtering on the fly, for example, first all mail will
delivered to the main Inbox, but as the client connects, Dovecot reads
the rules and places them to separate mailbox etc according to the
previously configured rules. In this case, it is not delivery, it's
more like moving.

Actually no, but I'd just like that separate software does separate
things, Sendmail or Postfix as MTA and Dovecot as imap/pop server.
