Another thought occurred to me. It needn't be a plugin as such, as it just needs to run before the imap process proper - see http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting. It could be something as simple as a shell script doing (though with rather more safeguards):- exim_lock /var/spool/$USER \ "cat /var/spool/$USER >> ~/mbox && rm /var/spool/$USER" exec /path/to/dovecot/libexec/imap though you could probably write a utility using c-client to do it properly.
