You can avoid touching indexes:

protocol lda {
  mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY
}

But you still have the problem of dovecot-uidlist file that gets updated. Well .. maybe you could do something ugly like:

protocol lda {
  mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY:CONTROL=/tmp/controls/%u
}

And then once in a while rm -rf /tmp/controls, but I don't know how badly that'll work out. I guess it's possible that LDA even goes and scans through the existing cur/ directory to build a new dovecot-uidlist.
